(prayers for healing, peace and justice)Prayer for Healing
Lord Jesus, you are the master of life and death. Everything I have is yours, and I love you very deeply. Just one touch from you restores the sick, heals the broken, and transforms the darkness. That you have overcome the world That you hold all of heaven and earth in your loving hands In our hearts forever
(a modern prayer for healing)

Prayer for Peace
Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth; Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust; Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace; Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe
(This simple prayer comes from the Vancover Assembly of the World Council of Churches. It's origins a thought to be from England circa 1981. In the early eighties, Mother Teresa of Calcutta popularised this prayer, and it subsequently became adopted by the Assembly of World Religions meeting in Russia. This event was timed to coincide with the second United Nations Special Session on Disarmament. By the end of the decade, the Berlin Wall had crumbled and the "Cold War", if not completely over, was certainly no longer the dark shadow across the world that it once was. However, with the turn of the millenium, and "9/11", the world was to face new challanges and new wars. Hence this prayer is as relevant today as it was when it was first prayed almost thirty years ago).
