Almighty God, you are the righteous one. You exalt the humble and true, and you bring down the unholy high places. You open the gates of the holy city to the righteous nations and bring peace to those who diligently seek your name and remembrance. Let us sing with Judah. Let us understand and know your perfect peace. In the midst of transition, upheaval and change, grant us calm minds and steadfast hearts. Make level the path of the righteous. O, Lord, ordain peace for us. I ask in the name and authority of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
(Isaiah 26: 3-4 ESV)
