Pray for Our Neighbors

Pray for the people
in the city where we are planted
where we find ourselves
out in the world

Prayer for our neighbors
none of them truly strangers
all of them known to God
just as we are

Pray for our brothers,
our sisters, in this distant country
offering them love
as we have been commanded

Pray continuously,
without ceasing
bearing witness
to the grace of God

Pray for the people
all those around us
that they would turn from the world
and return to almighty God
