Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed
away; and all things have become new.

Corinthians 5:17
A Pocket Prayer Book
I found this Devotional Guide
at home in our Archives which is from the time span of World War II.
From its copyright in 1941, it had 11 printings listed which ended
in the year 1944. The total number printed during this time was
640,000 and each year the number increased as the war progressed.
This Evangelistic Book was compiled by Ralph Spaulding Cushman. One
selection is as follows:
PRAYER FOR PEACE
O GOD, Who has made of one
blood all nations of men,
mercifully receive the prayer that we offer
for our anxious and troubled world.
Send light into our darkness
and guide the nations
as one family in the ways of
peace.
Take away all prejudice and
hatred and fear.
Strengthen in us day by day
the will to understand.
And to those who lead the
people of the earth, grant a right judgment,
so that the purpose of
the Lord Jesus Christ will be done.
Amen
Gracious
God, We give thanks for all thy gifts of love and peace. Please
continue to bless us in days to come. Amen
