Peace

A strong city have we;
he sets up walls and ramparts to protect us.
Open up the gates
to let in a nation that is just,
one that keeps faith.

A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace
in peace, for its trust in you.
Trust in the Lord forever!
For the Lord is an eternal Rock.
-Isais 26: 1-4

I read (prayed) this during morning prayer and thought of our country and the wars in the Middle East. Spare your people O Lord. Help us keep faith!
