## Written prayer

Dear Lord, Rock of Ages, steady our trembling hands. We confess how fragile the thrones we build truly are—shaped by fear, pride, and self-preservation. We seek peace, yet feel drawn toward conflict. We long for unity, yet allow rivalry and suspicion to divide us. You alone see the intentions of every heart, and still You meet us with mercy. Look upon our fractured loyalties and do what we cannot—bring justice without vengeance and healing without force. Remind us that Your kingdom is not established by power plays or violence, but by redemption that cannot be shaken. Strengthen us to walk in truth when it is costly, and lead us away from self-defense into the path of peace You have set before us. We trust You, Shepherd of Israel, to make us whole. Amen.
