You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it is going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, its always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.

God, forgive us for raising our fists in anger. Forgive us for wishing our enemies destroyed. Forgive us for accepting violence as a solution to our problems. Inspire our creativity to imagine peaceful resolutions to our conflicts. Grant us the wisdom to avoid the foolishness of violent means. Let our wounds be healed by justice, and let our laws be informed by forgivness. Create peacemakers in our community, who guide us to a world built on just peace. In your name we pray.
Rev. B. Hooper

the world seems a desolate place to me this morning. The above gave me some comfort, i hope it can do the same for others.

Peace
