Most gracious God, look upon the world you have made with the same love from which you formed it. Stamp upon every heart the knowledge that all human beings in every place are made in your image, and that we can never renounce our membership in the human family. Present and preserve peaceful means of resolviong the strife of nations, and give to all leaders the courage and grace to lead toward a good greater than their own immediate interests. Bless those who do not plan wars, but must wage them, and bless those caught in their crossfire. These things, we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, who lives with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, maker and lover of the world.
