God of Peace,
We lift up our prayers for the people of Iran, and the innocent civilians who are in dire need of your comfort.
Grant our leaders the wisdom to recognize the roots of hatred and to prevent its escalation…

clergy & church workers, here's our yearly reminder: Jesus will rise from the dead even if you forgot to print out the right hymns, even if the lilies arrive already wilted, even if the whole choir gets food poisoning. Nothing will keep the stone from rolling away. You are loved.
