“A Prayer for Peace”

By Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
(translated by Rabbi Deborah Silver)

May it be Your will, Holy One, our God, our ancestors’ God, that you erase war and
bloodshed from the world and in its place draw down a great and glorious peace so
that nation shall not lift up sword against nation
neither shall they learn war anymore.

Rather, may all the inhabitants of the earth recognize and deeply know this great truth:
that we have not come into this world for strife and division nor for hatred
and rage, nor provocation and bloodshed.

We have come here only to encounter You, eternally blessed One.
And so, we ask your compassion upon us; raise up, by us, what is written:

I shall place peace upon the earth, and you shall lie down safe and undisturbed
and I shall banish evil beasts from the earth
and the sword shall not pass through your land,
but let justice come in waves like water and righteousness flow like a river,
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Holy One
as the waters cover the sea.
So may it be.

And we say: Amen.
