Broken relationships and the God of All

The peace of God passeth all human understanding


God of All,
Creator Compassionate,
All knowing, all loving God - There are many broken relationships.
Many tears are being shed

Love is returned at times by
lovelessness, scorn and
emotional cruelty

Words are sometimes used as instruments
not to heal and spread
love, but to cause
unbearable pain.

The path of 
faithfulness as prescribed in 
Holy Writings is left, and
faithlessness brings illness,
and devastated relationships in its wake.

In this world of struggle in relationships, 
Lord God,
help us to shine as beacons 
of love
to be lighthouses of caring,

Never accepting rejection from another but always returning,
forgiving, in the hope of
restoring healing and love to
our relationships.

You, our great God, are Love
Help us to be channels of 
that great love through our
humble beings
to our world.
        Amen.
