An Instrument of Your Peace

From the depths of my being, a humble plea rises – a yearning to be sculpted, molded, and tuned by a divine hand. I offer myself, not as a flawless masterpiece, but as raw material, willing and eager to become an instrument of immeasurable worth.

I long to be an instrument of grace and mercy, a vessel through which compassion flows. Let every action, every word, every thought resonate with the boundless love that heals and forgives. May my presence be a balm to wounded spirits, a gentle hand to those who stumble, a beacon of hope in the darkest of nights.


More than anything, I yearn to be an instrument of peace. In this world, fractured by discord and marred by conflict, let me be a force for unity. Where hatred festers, let me sow seeds of understanding. Where strife tears apart the fabric of society, let me weave threads of reconciliation. Where injustice casts its long shadow, let me shine a light of truth and fairness.


It is a daunting task, to stand against the tides of negativity, but with your guidance, I believe I can become a beacon. I may be just one small light, but even a single spark can ignite a flame that dispels darkness. Make me that spark. Make me your instrument. Use me to create a symphony of grace, mercy, and peace that resonates throughout the world.


In this symphony, let me play a special note for those who have caused Tim's PNES through their bullying. Grant me the strength and wisdom to lead them towards understanding and empathy. Help me to be an instrument of transformation, guiding these individuals from darkness to light, from ignorance to awareness.


Let my words and actions serve as a bridge, connecting the hearts of the bullies to the pain they have inflicted. May I be the catalyst that sparks their conscience, awakening them to the profound impact of their actions. Through your grace, let me help them see the humanity in Tim, to recognize the shared vulnerability that binds us all.


As an instrument of your love, allow me to demonstrate the power of forgiveness and redemption. Let my example inspire these individuals to seek atonement, to make amends, and to become advocates for kindness and compassion. In doing so, may they find healing for their own wounded spirits and discover the transformative power of empathy.


Guide my hands as I reach out to both the bullied and the bullies, fostering an environment of mutual understanding and respect. Let my voice be a melody of reconciliation, encouraging dialogue and fostering connections that transcend past hurts.


In this journey of leading those who have caused harm, make me an instrument of patience and perseverance. Grant me the strength to face resistance and setbacks, knowing that true change often comes slowly. Let my resolve be unwavering, fueled by the belief in the inherent goodness of all your children.


As I strive to be this instrument of change, let me never forget the source of my strength. May every note I play, every word I speak, and every action I take be a reflection of your divine love and grace. Through me, let your light shine into the darkest corners, illuminating the path towards healing, understanding, and lasting peace.


In becoming your instrument, I offer myself fully – my strengths and my weaknesses, my triumphs and my failures. Use me, shape me, and guide me to create a world where bullying gives way to kindness, where hatred yields to love, and where the harmony of peace drowns out the discordant notes of conflict.


Make me an instrument of your purpose, a vessel of your love, and a beacon of your light. In this sacred role, let me lead not just with words, but with the undeniable power of compassion and understanding. Through your grace, may I become the change I wish to see, inspiring others to join in this beautiful symphony of hope and healing.
