Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (Deut 6:4)
Peaceful God, we recognize today is International Day of Peace and pray for places that have been in conflict for a long time. We pray for an end to all wars. We pray for a change in thinking on how we disagree and what we do about it. God, grant us open hearts and minds to see what and who you are calling us to be. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen

God of Truth, we pray for our country and our individual hearts as we strive to learn and grow about the real history of Canada. Nudge us to search out things we have yet to learn.

Parenting God, as we pray for families today, I pray that we’re teaching them good things. I pray that we teach them about justice and love, about serving and helping, and about knowing you. I pray that we can do all this while we’re playing, or teaching, or eating. Be in each of us and guide us to be good stewards of your light and love. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen
