Prayer of the day

Prayer of the day from China:

I pray that the atrocities and bloodshed in Afghanistan will cease soon.

I pray that the Durban Climate Change conference will effect some positive resolutions for a cleaner planet (I say that from the heavily polluted city of Beijing!).

I pray that the turmoil and 9 months of strife and bloodshed in Syria will be halted to allow the citizens of that country to live an honorable life worthy of their long history.

I pray that the global economic meltdown will be reversed soon to avert the otherwise more dire consequences.

I pray that the politicians of the world will learn soon that political science (which is not truly an exact science) needs to be reformed.

I pray that uniforms worn to differentiate people's belief are not over-emphasized and that religious leanings are not driven by a herd mentality.

I pray that nations will make a better effort to work closer together to eliminate famine, illiteracy and crime.

I pray that the next generations wherever they may reside in this world will enjoy a better life.
