A Prayer for the Middle-East

Divine Source of Compassion

In this troubled land of ancient stories and timeless strife,

Where hearts ache with the weight of history's scars,

We lift our voices in prayer for peace.

Grant solace to those who mourn the loss of loved ones,

Comfort those whose homes lie shattered by conflict's fury,

And heal the wounds of hatred that divide us.

Grant the leaders of all nations both wisdom and empathy,

Inspire them to seek dialogue over discord,

And nurture the seeds of understanding and reconciliation.

Let the olive branches of peace flourish in this now barren land,

Help those in authority find the path to harmony and tranquility,

Where all can dwell under your shining light of justice and compassion.

In your infinite grace, grant us the courage to forgive,

The strength to bridge divides, and the vision to see

That in unity lies our truest strength, and in peace, our greatest victory.

Amen.
