A Hope, A Prayer
We seek You, the Higher Power of the Universe, the unseen force that unites all human beings to be an image of the good and sacred, B’tzelem Elokim.
May all of us regard human life as holy, each person containing a special spark, so that we cease war and bloodshed knowing that every life lost is a precious soul.
May we withstand the derision of others, the prejudice, the hatred, and the violence…knowing that choices must be made for Good to overcome Evil, for Justice to prevail.
We cry out to you with the agony of loss and suffering, caused needlessly by those who are unwilling to live on this earth by rules of the Moral Good, in peace, knowing that all comes from You.
Though we are only sojourners here we seek to leave our mark toward making this glorious world a place worthy of the Holy.
We pray that the good nations of the world will stand up to hate and not be prey to those whose intentions are evil.
As the world increasingly becomes filled with hate, we hope this signals that the time for redemption is near.
May we reach the highest heights as human beings, created in the image of love and compassion, recognizing that there is a higher moral and ethical power that must reign over the world.
May we, the nations and leaders of the world, and all who regard the world as imbued with Your loving kindness, begin on a path of holiness, peace, and love.
