This mantra comes from the lyrics of John Lennon's song.

Breathing in: Give peace . . .
Breathing out: a chance.

For All Those
We pray for compassion, for empathy, and for hearts to stay open to those in worse need than we are. For all those whose lives were ripped away, for all those who have faced rubble with courage. For all those who remain afraid. Grant them and us your peace. Amen.
Donna Schaper in Prayers for People Who Say They Can't Pray

I am An Instrument
I am an instrument of peace.

Today I go with God in me
To spread peace, light and love
With all my thoughts, words, and deeds.

May We All Be in Peace
May there be peace in the higher regions;
May there be peace in the firmament;
May there be peace on earth.
May the waters flow peacefully;
May all the divine powers bring unto us peace.
The supreme Lord is peace.
May we all be in peace, peace, and only peace.
Frances Sheridan Goulart in God Has No Religion: Blending Traditions for Prayer

Our Own Part
Open our eyes to see our own part
in discord and aggression between people now;
forgive us our pride and divisions,
and renew in us the search for peace,
so that trust may replace suspicion,
friendship replace fear.
Angela Ashwin in Woman Prayers: Prayers by Women from Throughout History and Around the World by Mary Ford-Grawbowsky

Peace Begins With Me
God of life
Every act of violence,
Between myself and others
Destroys a part of your creation
Stir in my heart
A renewed sense of reverence
For all life
Give me vision to recognize your spirit
In every human being,
However they behave towards me
Make possible the impossible
By cultivating in me
The fertile seed of healing love
May I play my part
In breaking the cycle of violence
By realizing that
Peace begins with me.
