Prayer for Britain and the world:

Heavenly Father

source of all truth and wisdom, who knows and loves the whole creation,

watch over our nation:

that truth may prevail over distortion,

wisdom triumph over recklessness

and the concerns of every person be heard.

 

Lord Jesus,

who chose the way of the cross in the Garden of Gethsemane,

help us to turn our backs on self interest

and to support policies that sustain the poor, the vulnerable and the frightened people of this world.

 

Holy Spirit,

who brought understanding among myriad peoples and languages at Pentecost,

give to all your people a passion for peace

and inspire us to work for unity and co-operation throughout the world and in our political life together.

Amen.
