Prayer (5:16–6:34):

From the Book of Common Prayer — A Collect for the Peace of the World:

“Almighty God, from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed: kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all people the true love of peace; and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; that in tranquility your kingdom may go forward till the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
