Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)
Creating God, today we recognize One Health Day, where we think about global health issues, collaborating, innovating solutions and sustainable practices to improve well-being around the world. Grant us the tools and resources to be able to bring advancements to our communities. And may we be open to trying new systems and techniques in hopes of making everyone well. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
Inspiring God, today is the election in the USA. We pray for voters and those who are running for leadership. Be in the tools that mark the ballots, in the people who count them, and the results. May all go well and the people’s voices be heard. God, may we hold our friends to the south heavy in our prayers as we wait to see what comes next for them. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
Today is Guy Fawkes Day and some places around the world are celebrating with campfires and friends. God, today we ask you to be in us and around us as we live out all our days. May our systems of belief cause good and dispel evil. May we find ways to correct things that harmed others. Grant us open minds and souls as we figure out how to be the best we can be in our world today. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants – but let them not turn to folly. (Psalm 85:8)
Loving God, today is Let’s Stop Shouting Day around the world. Grant us permission to shout the good things from the mountaintops, but quiet us down and soften our hearts where we might be shouting in anger. And for those we shout out because they just can’t hear us, may they visit an audiologist and get some hearing aids. Just kidding God, but I do pray we hear each other with respect and dignity all our days. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)
Comforting God, today is Hug a Bear day and I pray that we have a bear we can hug or someone who is like a teddy bear to us. God, thank you for the gift of a hug that can calm our darkest fears, that can settle our hearts in sorrow, and that can help us rest in the chaos. May we always have someone around that we can hug, if we are huggers. And God, may I offer more hugs to friends and family when I see them. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
On Saturdays we pray for children and families, and it’s World Town Planning Day. I wonder what children would envision for a town. I wonder what things they would include or get rid of. I wonder what things would be on their list of priorities. God, may we invite young people into our conversations when we’re doing any planning for today or for tomorrow. May we open our minds to their ideas and try something new. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:23)
Today is Remembrance Sunday and we think of all who served in our local communities. We give thanks for their courage and their service, for their sacrifice and for their families. God, grant us hearts that will always remember them and time to set aside to learn more about them if we don’t know much. May we strive for a peace-filled world today and all our days to come. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
