“Dear Lord God and Father, convert and control.
Convert those who are still to become children and members of your kingdom, that together we may serve you in your kingdom in the right faith and true love and pass from this kingdom begun here to your everlasting kingdom.
Control those who would not withdraw their might and means from disturbing your kingdom. May they be dethroned and in humiliation stop molesting your kingdom.”
—from “A simple way to pray” to Peter, the barber of Wittenberg, by Martin Luther.
> convert and control
That’s it. That is the perfect prayer for the situation. Thank you.
