You men are all my children,
And I am your Father.
For age upon age, you
Have been scorched by multitudinous woes,
And I have saved you all.

CHRISTIANITY - Matthew 6.9-13, The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

CHRISTIANITY

In peace let us pray to the Lord.
For peace from on high and the salvation of our souls, let us pray to the Lord.
For peace in the whole world, the well being of the holy churches of God, and the union of all, let us pray to the Lord.
For this house and for those who enter it with faith, reverence, and fear of God, let us pray to the Lord.
For our deliverance from all affliction, wrath, danger, and need, let us pray to the Lord.
Help us, save us, have mercy on us, and protect us, O God, by your grace.

DRUZE

Oh God!
Remove Sectarianism from the souls of men and women.
Enlighten their minds and hearts through their faith in You.
Be with them in their moments of crisis.
Help them overcome their sins and grant them Your forgiveness.
Enable them to move closer to Your Commandments.
Restore security to their souls and clarity to their consciences.
Teach them that true religion is in attaining Your grace.
American Druze Society

OM.
We meditate upon the glorious splendor of the Vivifier divine.
May he himself illumine our minds.
OM.

HINDUISM - Bhagavad Gita 18.61-62

The Lord lives in the heart of every creature. 
He turns them round and round upon the wheel of his Maya. 
Take refuge utterly in Him. 
By His grace you will find supreme peace, and the state which is beyond all change.

ISLAM: Qur'an 1, Al-Fatihah

In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds,
The Beneficent, the Merciful,
Owner of the Day of Judgment.
Thee alone we worship; Thee alone we ask for help.
Show us the straight path:
The path of those whom Thou hast favored;
not of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.

JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY - Psalm 133

Behold, how good and pleasant it is
When brothers dwell in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down upon the beard,
Upon the beard of Aaron,
Running down on the collar of his robes!
It is like the dew of Hermon,
Which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing
Life for evermore.

SHINTO

Although the people living across the ocean surrounding us, I believe,
are all our brothers and sisters,
why are there constant troubles in this world?
Why do winds and waves rise in the ocean surrounding us? I only earnestly wish that the wind will soon puff away all the clouds which are hanging over the tops of the mountains.

SIKHISM - Adi Granth, Japuji 5, M.1, p. 2

If a man sings of God and hears of Him,
And lets love of God sprout within him,
All his sorrows shall vanish,
And in his mind, God will bestow abiding peace.
