You lead the humble
in what is right,
O God, you teach the
humble your way.
We seek to do your
will for those
who have lost everything
from warfare:
whose cities are
ruined, farms
are destroyed, economies
are chaotic,
whose people were
slaughtered.
Help us restore their
economies,
heal the wounded,
console the bereaved;
strengthen them in
every good work,
and comfort their
hearts,
we pray.
