PEACE

America is called to pray for peace in each locality at 11:00 AM today. Will you join in prayer?

Heavenly Father,
You are Peace, Jehovah Shalom.
You initiated peace through Your great love for humanity through the reconciling work of Christ Jesus.
Christ, You are Peace, reconciling and uniting individuals through the cross, dissipating humanity’s hatred and violence.
We commit our communities, counties, states, nation, and world to You.
We ask for a healing of the nations, for people around the world to receive Your love and peace.
We ask for the powerful peace that passes all understanding, the peace that guards a heart and mind through trusting You.
Bless the peacemakers.
Bless homes, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and churches with Your presence and peace.
Thank You.
We give all honor and glory to You.
In Your name, Amen.

Meditation:
1On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; he sets up victory like walls and bulwarks. 2 Open the gates, so that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in. 3 Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace-- in peace because they trust in you. 4 Trust in the LORD forever, for in the LORD GOD you have an everlasting rock. (Isaiah 26:1-4, NRS)

7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7, NRS)

33 The God of peace be with all of you. Amen. (Romans 15:33, NRS)

Learning with you to pray for peace,
