Muslim - Jewish - Christian Prayer for Peace

O God, you are the source
    of life and peace.
Praised be your name forever.
We know it is you who turn
    our minds to thoughts of peace.
Hear our prayer in this time of war.

Your power changes hearts.
Muslims, Christians, and Jews remember,
    and profoundly affirm,
that they are followers of the one God,
children of Abraham, brothers and sisters;
enemies begin to speak to one another;
those who were estranged
join hands in friendship;
nations seek the way of peace together.

Strengthen our resolve to give witness
to these truths by the way we live.

Give to us:
    Understanding that puts an end to strife;
    Mercy that quenches hatred, and
    Forgiveness that overcomes vengeance.

Empower all people to live in your law of love.
    Amen.
