O Lord God, grant us your Spirit, that we may comprehend your peace. As we pray, help us to recognize what must come from you alone, for you are mighty and holy and your will is peace on earth. Your will is peace beyond all understanding, your peace in heaven and on earth and under the earth, your peace that opposes all sin and death and takes away every evil that can be named. We await you, O Lord our God, and you will hear us. We hold out in patience, for we are your children and we shall never lose the faith that your name shall be honoured and that all things shall come into harmony with your will of peace on earth, your peace. Amen.
