Instead Of: A Prayer for Peace

Blessed Yah, Creator, Created, Creating...
We pray for peace,
For ourselves and the world,
Even if only for one day:

Instead of anger, we choose kindness.
Instead of revenge, we choose justice.
Instead of resentment, we choose empathy.
Instead of work, we choose rest.
Instead of ideology, we choose compromise.
Instead of destruction, we choose community.
Instead of fear, we choose endurance.
Instead of invective, we choose prayer.
Instead of violence, we choose peace.

Blessed Yah, Creator, Created, Creating...
We give thanks for this day of peace.
May it change us, may it change the world,
And let us say, Amen.

  1. Resonate with a lot of what you have posted. Do some of the pieces have music unique to them? Which?

    1. Thank you so much! None of them have been put to music though I’d really love it.
