The last day of the year as we prepare to welcome in a brand new year full of possibilities always seems like the perfect time to pray for peace.

On this New Year’s Eve we pray for peace.
First we pray for peace in our own hearts where true peace in the world begins.
We pray for peace in our homes that our children may learn and live peace.
We pray for peace in our neighborhoods and communities that we may dwell together in harmony.
We pray for peace in our nation that we may see the divine nature in and celebrate the worth and value of each member of our society.
We pray for peace in the world that we may work together to create a world that works for all.
Hear our prayer Oh Lord, and grant us thy peace — And so it is, Amen.
