Kenyan Peace Prayer

This prayer is from the spiritual lineage of Kenya. It calls for peace in all that we do.

You may find this prayer as a focus and source of inspiration at the beginning or end of your personal practice.

O God, thou has let me pass the night in peace,

Let me pass the day in peace.

Wherever I may go

Upon my way which thou hast made peaceable for me,

O God, lead my steps. 

When I have spoken, 

Keep off calumny from me.

When I am hungry,

Keep me from murmuring. 

When I am satisfied,

Keep me from pride. 

Calling upon thee, I pass the day,

O God who hast no God. 

-Boran from Kenya
