Great Mystery, Loving Shechinah,
Come close. We need you near us now.
Answer our prayers for peace.
Do not turn away from us.

Bless the people of this planet with peace.
May their hearts be inclined toward kindness
and their hands toward service.

May the love of power give way to the power of love.
May wounds heal before they cause more wounds and more wounds.
May peacemakers be protected and empowered; may their voices be sweet and irresistible.

May the people of Gaza be blessed with visionary, game-changing leadership, ample food, health, and hope.
May the people of Israel be blessed with visionary, game-changing leadership, ample food, health, and hope.
May all hostages come home.
May all whose lives have been disrupted and uprooted by war find comfort and support.
May all the nations of the world expose their kind heart and generous welcome.

May no harm be done in our name.
May no harm be done in anyone’s name.
May no harm be done.
