I just shared this prayer for peace in the Tuesday Meditation Group and was asked to share the above words with everyone.

Additionally, I slightly altered the Loving Kindness Meditation:

May all beings everywhere have comfort.

May all beings everywhere have hope.

May all beings everywhere feel peace.

Please substitute your own words or prayers.  I've found in my own explorations that just slight changes can help the words resonate more with my own mind/spirit. 

Again, remember that your thoughts and intentions matter.. Together, we can make a difference. Ultimately, we are all interconnected and what I further in my own life, my own mind, ripples out to affect more beings than we are aware of.
