A Prayer for London
This photo of St. Paul's during the Blitz serves as a reminder that the people of London have triumphed over great adversity in the past, and with God's help will again undoubtedly acquit themselves with honor.
O MERCIFUL God, and heavenly Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men; Look with pity, we beseech thee, upon the sorrows of thy servants the people of London, for whom our prayers are offered. Remember them, O Lord, in mercy; endue their souls with patience; comfort them with a sense of thy goodness; lift up thy countenance upon them, and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Bless our hearts, that we may have courage. Cleanse our hearts of fear that stifles our ability to love.
Bless our souls, that we may have faith. Carry us when our spirit falters and preserve our hopes.
Bless our bodies, that we may have strength. Stiffen our bones and sinews with the power we need to do what must be done.
Bless our enemies, that they may abandon hatred. Open their hearts so love may grow to replace hate.
