Daily Prayer
O Ruler of Nations
Isaiah 9:5,7; 2:4
For a child is born for us,
a son given to us
and dominion is laid on his shoulders;
Wide is his dominion
in a peace that has no end,
for the throne of David
and for his royal power,
which he establishes and makes secure
in justice and integrity.
He will wield authority over the nations
and adjudicate between many peoples;
these will hammer their swords into ploughshares,
their spears into pruning hooks.
Nations will not lift sword against nation,
there will be no more training for war.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
