Today in our prayers, we remember the people of United Kingdom.
Prayer for Peace
Megan Nicholas
Amid the noise and demands of everyday life, it is easy for us to get distracted and lose our way on the path to God. War and strife creep in, beating at our spirits. But you are there with us, even in the darkness, reminding us that your presence stretches overall—even to the ends of the Earth. You give us peace of mind, heart, and soul when we are lost in our troubles.
Today, Lord, we gather to humbly ask your blessing—not only upon this congregation and the needs of its people but for those seeking your peace in many other places throughout the world:
- For those who have turned away from you in the past, that they may be reminded of your strength and love and find renewed hope for the future.
- For soldiers in war, on all sides, may your power and love work in their hearts to restore peace.
- For all those, Lord, who are tired and sick—in body or in mind—and for those who have the power to help them, that they might be moved to share their gifts with those who need them.
Help us, Lord, to recognize the path we need to take to bring about your kingdom of peace here on Earth.
