Dear Lord, as we come to the end of Women’s History Month, we don’t want to forget our Women Veterans who have served and are serving in our Armed Forces. Women who have answered the call to service leaving family and friends in pursuit of a better world for everyone.
We pray for healing for those who suffer the horrible consequences of war; mend the rifts that pit nation against nation.
Give us the grace to find alternatives to vengeance and violence.
Give us the courage to advocate for peaceful solutions to our conflicts.
Center our hope in you so that, like the prophet Isiah, we can envision a world without war.
With all hope in your power and presence, we pray.
AMEN
