🙏A PRAYER FOR LOVE OF NEIGHBOUR

In recent weeks we’ve seen demonstrations across the UK that risk fuelling fear, division, and hostility; many of these events have specifically targeted people of different faiths and those seeking asylum.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to walk a different path: the way of love, peace, and unity. We invite you to join us in this short prayer, asking God to open our hearts to tolerance, compassion, and the courage to stand together as one human family who are all brothers and sisters in Christ:

✝️God of all peoples,
in a world divided by fear and suspicion,
open our hearts to see one another as You see us.

When anger rises, plant peace.
When prejudice blinds, restore vision.
When hatred shouts, teach us to listen with love.

Strengthen us to stand with our neighbours,
whatever their language, faith, or homeland,
so that together we may build a community
where dignity is honoured,
differences are cherished,
and Your love is made visible.

Amen.
