The following are some of Imam Elahi's words of prayer during this interfaith initiative!
"Thank you O Lord for giving us another opportunity for this National Day of Prayer. A Day to remember and reflect on Your Glory and Grace. A day to ask Your forgiveness and mercy for our sinful souls.
Please fill our hearts with the passion of love and keep us away from the hell of hatred, hypocrisy and hopelessness.
Bless our families with faith and values, our youth with vision and virtues, our community with solidarity and sacrifice and our nation with unity, security, awareness, peace and prosperity.
O Lord, the Middle East, the birthplace of Moses, Jesus and Mohammad, the mother of both Islamic and Christian faiths and civilizations is under fire by the forces of greed and selfishness, please save our Muslim and Christian brothers and sisters from those daily destruction, war and terrorism.
Please replace the world’s fears, pains, conflicts, slavery, racism, human trafficking, poverty and hunger with hope, dignity, reconciliation, friendship and freedom.
Make us truly one nation under Your blessings with a White House of wisdom and honesty, a Congress of courage and common sense with responsible representatives, a judiciary of justice and generosity, security forces of power, protection and trust, and citizens of consciousness and compassion.
But My Lord I know that journey toward all these heavenly characteristics starts from me!
So please help me to be better person. Let peace start from me! Let Fairness start from me, let humbleness start from me and let caring for Your creation start from me!
Ameen!
