The prayer series

Jesus,

You lived in the war time.
Jewish–Roman wars.

You were a Jew
and the Romans ruled your country.

Your people believed that,
to be free,
freedom for themselves and their country,
they had to fight the Romans.

You didn’t do that.
You didn’t fight the Romans.
You loved all people, both Jews and Romans.
You chose a way
– the way to free people from the prison of their mind.
The true freedom.

…

Jesus,

If our country is at war again,
please give me your courage.
I want to follow you.
I want to choose your way,
the love way,
the way of true freedom.

Amen.

PTH
