Prayer for Peace

William Webb

Gracious God and prince of peace,

We look to you now as we give you praise and honor and glory.

We ask for your help in our quest for peace. We are prone to self-centered satisfaction. Help us to look beyond ourselves to find those service opportunities that will reflect your love and bring your kingdom nearer.

Help each of us to find the path to peace. As we walk in the paths of peace, let the hope for peace burn brightly in each heart. Help us take those steps toward peace that make your peace a reality in each of us.

O God, we now remember those in need. There are so many who are spiritually separated from you. Help us find ways of filling this void so those who need you so desperately will feel your nearness and comfort. May they also find fulfillment in the hope of peace that comes from your ways. May they find the means and the desire to change those things in their lives that cause separation from you and others.

So many in physical need. We also remember those and present them for your blessing of healing, strength, and wholeness. May your will be done.

God of peace, help each of us here today follow the example of your son to bring needed ministry to those in need. Be with our families so that they may learn the ways of peace and cooperation are also the ways of love. Help each of us find the fulfillment that comes to us as we live out the ways of peace and apply love, meekness, and purity in all that we do.

Help us be peacemakers who bring joy and happiness to our families and our communities. Help us share your message of love, forgiveness, and peace with all the families of the world so that your will may prevail, and your kingdom may come.

We give you honor, praise, and glory. We ask this in Jesus’s name. Amen.
