Confession and Prayer for Peace

Isaiah 26:12-18

ADONAI, you will grant us peace; because all we have done, you have done for us.

ADONAI our God, other lords besides you have ruled us, but only you do we invoke by name.

The dead will not live again, the ghosts will not rise again; for you punished and destroyed them, wiped out all memory of them.

You enlarged the nation, ADONAI, you enlarged the nation; and thus you glorified yourself; you extended all the frontiers of the country.

ADONAI, when they were troubled, they sought you. When you chastened them, they poured out a silent prayer.

As a pregnant woman about to give birth cries out and writhes in her labor pains, so we have been at your presence, ADONAI

we have been pregnant and been in pain. But we, as it were, have given birth to wind; we have not brought salvation to the land, and those inhabiting the world have not come to life.
