Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today, asking for your peace to reign in our hearts, in our homes, and in our world. Your word tells us that you are the God of peace, and we believe that you can bring peace to any situation.

We ask that you would calm our anxious minds and fill us with your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help us to trust in your plan and to have faith that you are in control, even in the midst of chaos.

We lift up those who are suffering from conflict and violence, and we pray for your healing and restoration. May your peace spread throughout the nations, bringing unity and reconciliation where there is division.

In our own lives, help us to be peacemakers, seeking to love and serve others as you have commanded us. Give us the strength to forgive those who have hurt us and to seek reconciliation in our relationships.

We thank you for the hope and comfort that you provide in times of trouble. We rest in the assurance that you are the Prince of Peace, and that you are always near to those who call on your name.

In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

 

 

Praise God for He is
