Matilda Johnson
World Vice-President
A Prayer for all nations
Loving God, we worship you, we adore you.
Lord, we thank you for being with us, guiding our leaders
As they rule with wisdom and compassion.
Lord as we approach Christmas, the coming of your Son Jesus Christ
The Redeemer, the Saviour, the Prince of Peace
May your peace reign in our hearts, in our nations, all over the world.
Grant our leaders understanding, patience and forgiveness
May they choose dialogue over conflict and peace over war.
We pray for peoples of all nations, as we remember the oppressed
The abused, the abandoned, the displaced, the lonely and persecuted.
Lord, in your mercy give them hope, courage and perseverance.
Strengthen their faith in you, O Lord and fill them with your Holy Spirit.
May the spirit of Christmas and all its promises of love, joy and peace
Abide with all peoples all over the world. Amen.
