I am so humbled to be part of this prayer panel to bless this International Leadership Conference, organized by UPF!

Today is Sep 11, let’s first pray for those 3000 innocent souls whom we lost in that criminal terrorist tragedy 19 years ago today in NYC. and pray for their hearts broken families who are still waiting for truth, justice and right response!

We pray for them and millions of other victims of war and terrorism in other parts of this chaotic world.

Our peace and prayer also to the suffering families of more than 900,000 victims of this vicious corona virus in America and other nations!

O Lord of light, love and liberation!

Please help us during this testing time of turmoils and tragedies!

Let this be a time of transformation, time of global awakening from the nap of negligence, time of regret and repentance!

O God of Grace and Glory!

Protect us not only from the pain of this pandemic, but also the pain of prejudice, poverty, war and violence!

Please bless UPF, the inspiring legacy of its late founding father, the wisdom of lady Dr. Hak Jahan Moon, also the UPF’s chairman, president and all of its members and volunteers to continue their contributions to building bridges of peace, cooperation and empathy in the world!

Help us all O Allah

To replace hate and revenge with harmony and reconciliation

Brutality and bloodshed with benevolence and brotherhood

Anger and arrogance with empathy and understanding!

War and destruction with dialogue and construction!

Sin and selfishness with sacrifice and life for the sake of others!

O Lord please save this world from the virus of ignorance, injustice, greed and corruption!

Enlighten our minds with the light of Your heavenly wisdom and fill our hearts with humility, hope, love and forgiveness!
