O God in these turbulent days when fear and doubt are mounting high give us broad visions, penetrating eyes, and power of endurance. Help us to work with renewed vigor for a warless world, for a better distribution of wealth, and for the brotherhood that transcends race or color. In the name and spirit of Jesus we pray.
