PRAYER FOR PEACE
“Lord, make me an
instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there
is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console.
To be
understood, as to understand. To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving we
receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are
born to eternal life.”
Sermon preached at Oak Grove Christian Church
