Sat 25th ANZAC Day Australia and New Zealand’s national day of remembrance for those who have died, been wounded, or served as members of their defence forces during times of war.
We remember this past history of war, and pray that, in the future, all people will work to make peace, not war.
Prayer for Peace
E te Ariki,
You are the Prince of Peace.
Help us to be people of peace in all that we do.
May we always show love at home.
Help us to care for our family and say sorry when we need to. May we always show patience at school.
Help us to see the needs of others around us and look to bring healing.
May we always look to be joyful in all that we do.
Help us to bring light even when there is darkness.
We pray for your world.
Where there is war, may there be peace.
Where there is struggle, may there be peace.
Where there is anger, may there be peace.
May your peace come again.
Amen.
