Update: Sept 19, 2023
We are always looking for more prayers that are appropriate for interfaith meetings and events. If you know of one, please send it to Gregory at gregory@interfaithpower.org
Prayer is an essential piece of the action for a healthier, more equitable planet. Prayer and action are two sides of the same coin. Action without prayer can become angry, self-righteous, and devoid of true communication; prayer without action can be hollow without the expression of loving, communal efforts.
There are a multitude of prayers for Creation from every major faith tradition. There are also prayers designed to be integrated into faithful worship. The below is a list of just some; please send us others that you know that may be put on this list:
