Peace Poem & Prayer

Tanner, an inmate-member of New Life Prison Community wrote this poem and read it at the worship service last night. He also included this prayer. I thought he nailed the topic of Peace and he gave me a copy.


Peace Poem

Peace makes the world go round

It can be lost but always found

It can stop a fight

(and when it's dark)

It can give you Light.

Peace ... it can

make

your deepest pain

cease.


Peace is more than the absence of conflict;

Peace is the Presence of God.


Peace Prayer

Jesus,

Prince of Peace,

teach me to find you

in the Calming Power of your Presence.

Strengthen me

today

with your Peace

and grant me

the stability I need

in this turmoil-filled world.

Amen.
