God of peace and love, we lift to you those whose lives were taken in Texas and Ohio. Please give the 29 people eternal-life in your kingdom. To their families and friends, give them consolation and hope in this most painful time. For those recovering, place your healing hand on them. Lord, you call us to peace, and some resort to racism, hatred, violence and disregard for human life.
Please forgive our human family for our blindness to your call for peace. Give us the wisdom and determination to be instruments of peace. Please give your spirit of conversion to those responsible that recognizing their wrongdoing they may seek your mercy. Lord, let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
We ask this through Christ our Lord and the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
