For peacefulness. | |
Ⅰ. Almighty Father! I humbly ask thee for thy help, for my need is great. Do thou grant peace unto my soul. My days fly past in quick succession, and are marked by happy expectations or by grievous disappointments. With thee, O Lord, is peace. O Lord, in the thought of thy constant love and pity may I learn to find my rest. I am weary with trying to understand the mysteries of sin and of evil against which I so often struggle in vain. Teach me to be still and to wait patiently for Thee, who art perfect in knowledge and goodness. Amen. | |
Ⅱ. Grant abundant peace unto thy people for ever; for thou art the sovereign Lord of all peace; and may it be good in thy sight to bless thy people at all times and at every hour with thy peace. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who blessest thy children with peace. Amen. |
Basil L.Q. Henriques’s prayers “For Peacefulness” were first published in The Fratres Book of Prayer for the Oxford and St. George’s Synagogue Jewish Lads Club in 1916, and later reprinted in the Prayer Book of the St. George’s Settlement Synagogue (1929), “Special Prayers” section, page 88. The prayer appears to be an expansion of the prayer for peace at the conclusion of the Amidah. –Aharon Varady

Support this work:
The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
