Planting Prayers of Peace (September)

Planting Prayers of Peace

This month we open our eyes, ears and hearts to creation. We want to rediscover the seeds of peace, the pathways of peace, the streams of peace that guide, nourish and sustain us. 

We ask God to help us relearn how to live ‘with’ the earth and not simply ‘on’ it. In times of overlapping ecological, military and economic crises we want to rediscover resilience, restoration and revival: in our relationships with God, one another, and our world. 

Our planet is beautiful, tenacious and vibrant and so are we. With God’s help we can’t plant prayers of peace and let them grow.

This month we are inviting our Daily Worship writers to simply write a prayer each day without any reflection or preamble as we focus on planting 28 prayers of peace for a world that desperately longs for peace.

Weekly overview:

• Prayer trees

• Seeds of peace

• Planting in tears, longing for justice

• True peace

Each week of this theme runs Sunday-Saturday and has its own subtheme, which contains daily Bible readings and prompts for thought (see the Resource Pack PDF for more information).
