Prayer For Peace -- Advent 2

PRAYER FOR PEACE
God of the promise, you speak to us through the ancient prophets.
Revealing the dream and promise of the Peaceable Kingdom,
sharing the vision of swords turned into plowshares, of the wolf lying down with the lamb
predicting the time when nations will learn war no more.
As we await the birth of Jesus, who we call the Prince of Peace,
remind us that a child, this child we await, will lead us to the future.
Help us find the path to the transformed world,
may we ascend the holy mountain, where none will hurt or destroy.
We pray in the name of Jesus, whose birth draws near. Amen
