Prayer For Peace Among Nations

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father,
guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and truth,
and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness,
that they may become the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Computer Prayer

LORD who lives beyond data
yet who is all knowing,
we ask Your blessing.

Bless our machines and their programs,
their ordered manner of accumulating and storing,
    the speed with which they enable us,
    the style and type that they offer.

But save us from machine-like routine,
help us not to move so fast
as to miss what is important.

May our computers free us from data-slavery:
 to be more aware of opportunities
       to serve people,
       to enjoy creation,
       to be Church.

Teach us right relationships:
      Creator to creations,
      God to people, people to God
     people to machines, machines to people.
Help us to be good stewards of our creations.

LORD, who lives beyond data
yet who is all-knowing,
we ask Your blessing.

Amen.
