Psalm 122

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 
   ‘May they prosper who love you. 
 Peace be within your walls, 
   and security within your towers.’ 
 For the sake of my relatives and friends 
   I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’ 
 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, 
   I will seek your good.

Gather in our hearts Lord 
BRING PEACE THROUGH OUR WORDS 
Gather in our hearts Lord 
BRING PEACE THROUGH OUR LISTENING 
Gather in our hearts Lord 
BRING PEACE THROUGH OUR ACTIONS 
Gather in our hearts Lord 
BRING PEACE THROUGH OUR SILENCE 
Gather in our hearts Lord 
BRING PEACE THROUGH OUR LIVES

Spirit of the living God, 
Come afresh on your holy land. 
Help your people to restore broken relationships. 
Give them patience to break down barriers of suspicion and mistrust; 
ability to discern personal prejudices and the courage to overcome fear. 
Teach them to respect each other’s integrity and rights 
so that your kingdom may be established on earth. 
For Jesus’ sake. Amen.
