A Prayer with Hope for Tomorrow
Shared by Jo Ann Howard, President
Every Shabbat that we worship together we recite the prayer below. May we each do our part
to make this prayer a reality in whatever ways we can. Let us make our voices heard not only
in prayer, whether in letters, rallies, or small group discussions.
GRANT US PEACE, Your most precious gift,
O Eternal Source of peace.
And give us the will to proclaim its message
to all the peoples of the earth.
Bless our country as a safeguard of peace,
its advocate among the nations.
May contentment reign within our borders,
health and happiness within our home.
Strengthen the bonds of friendship and fellowship
among all the inhabitants of every land.
Plant virtue in every soul,
and may the love of Your Name hallow every home and every heart.
Praised are You, Eternal One, who blesses our people with bless.
Amen and Amen
