Prayer for Ghana and Nigeria

God of Love,
Welcome into your arms the victims of violence and terrorism in Ghana and Nigeria.
Comfort their families and all who grieve for them.
Strengthen all those who work for peace,
Make us instruments of your peace.
Bestow upon us the discernment and understanding needed to identify effective strategies and approaches to eradicate the scourge of violence from our communities and the world.
And may the peace the world cannot give reign in our hearts.
