O Lord, may we never become complacent, faltering in our effort to build a world of peace for Your children. Let the nations know and understand that justice and right are better than conquest and dominion; may they come to see that it is not by might nor by power, but by Your spirit, that life prevails.
--Shabbat prayer from Gates of Prayer: The New Union Prayer Book, Central Conference of American Rabbis, 1975, p. 233.
