PRAYER FOR PEACE IN INDIVIDUALS, IN FAMILIES AND NATIONS

                    O Loving Lord, I thank You for this good time of prayer. In this world where there is strife and competition with jealousy at work, people are increasingly affected by loss of joy and peace. I thank You for the peace that You have given in my heart. You came to this world as the Prince of Peace. You said that You leave Your peace with us. Make real peace abound in me as I am experiencing loss of it because of my children. I pray that they should be taught by You and they should have the heart to obey Your words. Let them experience real peace and joy by Your grace. I thank You with the faith that You would do that. Let them accept and do what is acceptable to You in the matter of their marriage, their job, and in honouring their parents. Help them to make the right decision in these matters. Help them to be filled with the love of Calvary and to be rid of all disgust and bitterness that they experience in their lives as a result of delays and impediments in their lives. It is written in Psalm 147: 14 about You: “He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest wheat.” Let that happen in my life by Your mercies. I praise You with the belief that You would give real peace in the place of my work, in the region I live, and in the church where I worship. I thank You. Preserve me in my family life so that it is not affected by loss of peace. O Lord, You know that in the country where I live there are signs of deterioration in the matter of peace. Even in churches, You know how groups of people are rising up against one another. O Jesus Christ, You are the Lord of love who gives real peace. Hear my prayer and give peace in my country. I praise You as You would do that. I thank You. In the name of Jesus Christ I plead, O good Father. Amen.
