My simple prayer for the world in 2018

Dear God, please bless and enable all of us to:

Discuss and debate, rather than fight and argue.

Build each other up, rather than tear each other down.

Find solutions for problems, rather than more obstacles.

Have the sense of responsibility to check for facts.

Be discerning enough to differentiate between fact and opinion.

Stop the spread of misinformation, both mischievous and malicious.

Seek truth and clarity amidst all the information overload.

Fight against divisive rhetoric and hate speech, regardless of where it comes from.

Ensure civility, peace and harmony, even when we disagree…especially, when we disagree.

Understand that notoriety is not fame or greatness.

Spread intelligence, rather than ignorance.

Share love and respect, rather than bile and hatred.

Work together to defeat darkness, and bring in the light.
