here is a beautiful prayer, sent by my mennonite friends who work in afghanistan. even though the elections are over, it still very much applies.
for the people of afghanistan
god of love and life,
we pray for the people of afghanistan during this election time.
may your peace descend upon them and upon their nation.
may there be food and safety and schools for children.
may there be dignity and respect for women.
may there be meaningful work for men.
may there be wisdom for leaders.
may there be a laying down of weapons.
may there be reconciliation between enemies.
may there be restoration for the land.
god of life and love,
may your peace descend upon afghanistan.
amen.
this is also a shout-out to my friend sojourner’s
sunday inspirations.
I was going to write, ‘I’ll drink to that.’ But, Amen to that. Peace. Good photo too.
Beautiful prayer. They need peace and a good government so much.
Amen! and Amen! This is beautiful!
