This passage from the Acts of the Apostles could be used as a prayer for our times.

[Nestor Carvalho]

Ruler of all, Thou art the maker of heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them. Thou hast said through Thy Holy Spirit, by the lips of Thy servant David, our father, What means this turmoil among the nations; why do the peoples cherish vain dreams? See how the kings of the earth stand in array, how its rulers make common cause, against the Lord and his Christ. True enough, in this city of ours, Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel to aid them, made common cause against Thy holy servant Jesus, so accomplishing all that thy power and wisdom had decreed. Look down upon their threats, Lord, now as of old; enable Thy servants to preach thy word confidently, by stretching out Thy hand to heal; and let signs and miracles be performed in the name of Jesus, Thy holy Son. Amen. (Acts:4, 24-31)
