Christian Prayer for Peace

God, make me an instrument of Thy 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 this is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Loving God,
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 that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.
St. Francis of Assisi
