Prayer for Peace

Evalina L. Gustin

Our God, Almighty God over all creation:

We come to rejoice with you and to praise you. We come to learn to know you and the ways Jesus taught us that our lives would reflect the example he gave us through you. He has said in many ways, “If anyone will hear my voice and open unto me, I will be with them, sup with them, and help them find the ways of peace.”

O Lord, this could be such an amazing, beautiful Earth to live in if we would all answer your call—and come to you with our whole hearts turned to the divine food you wish to serve us. We do have desires in our hearts to find and share this path you made for us 2,000 years ago. We seek to walk with you in paths of love, hope, and peace as the Holy Spirit counsels and quickens thought and action.

Please guide and strengthen us with the courage to reach out to the lives of others to assist them as they struggle to find your peace in this world.

Lord, we wait upon you with patience; we watch to be alert; we respond to the needs of others to help bring more joy and your love into their lives. Be with them. Be with us.

We ask all in Jesus’s name and to your glory. Amen.
