God, give us frace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. - Reinhold Niebuhr

Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to Hope, from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace.
Let Peace fill our hearts, our wold, our universe. - Satish Kumar

All that we ought to have thought and have not thought,
All that we ought to have said and have not said,
All that we ought to have done, and have not done;
All that we ought not to have thought, and yet have thought,
All that we ought not to have spoken, and yet have spoken,
All that we ought not to have done, and yet have done;
For thought, words, and works, pray we, Oh God, for forgiveness.
And repent with penance. - Muslim from an ancient Persian prayer

Be present, O merciful God, and protect us through the silent hours of this night, so that we who are wearied by the changes and changes of this fleeting world may rest upon thy eternal changlessness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Book of Common Prayer

When we live in Doubt, Grant us Faith.
When we live in Despair, Grant us Hope.
When we live in Death, Grant us Love. - Timothy Dobbins
