Each morning before General Synod gathers in Tucson, we'll share a new prayer, devotional, or poem submitted by one of RfA's board members, themed on the Fruits of the Spirit.

We also invite you to join us in praying for the delegates and members of the General Synod (the full list can be found here ([link removed]) ).

Today, we're specifically holding those found on pages 10 and 11 in prayer (these include about half the delegates from classes within the Regional Synod of the Great Lakes, and most of those within the Regional Synod of the Heartland).

Today's prayer is a poem by John O'Donohue, themed on "joy,"
and submitted by RfA board president Cyndi Boertje.

For Peace
John O'Donohue

As the fever of day calms towards twilight
May all that is strained in us come to ease.

We pray for all who suffered violence today,
May an unexpected serenity surprise them.

For those who risk their lives each day for peace,
May their hearts glimpse providence at the heart of history.

That those who make riches from violence and war
Might hear in their dreams the cries of the lost.

That we might see through our fear of each other
A new vision to heal our fatal attraction to aggression.

That those who enjoy the privilege of peace
Might not forget their tormented brothers and sisters.

That the wolf might lie down with the lamb,
That our swords be beaten into ploughshares

And no hurt or harm be done
Anywhere along the holy mountain.
