Dear Heavenly Father,

You sent your Son Jesus to us so that we would have a clear path to be reconciled to you. We thank for giving him to us as the way, the truth and the life.

We pray that you would empower us with your Spirit and help us to walk in obedience to your word. We ask your help in fully receiving your peace, so that we would not let our hearts be troubled.

And we pray all of these things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that this is what he would pray for if he was here with us.

Amen.

Heavenly Father,

You are allowing us to live in troubling times. All around us we see war, disease, unrest. Our society seems right now to be falling apart.

Help us to find our strength and stability in you.  Allow us to be a light during these dark days as we point people to you.  Help us not to get sidetracked by the conflicts of our age. We know that instability is in some ways normal during these times in which we live.

Help us to be peacemakers while we look forward to the peace that will only come when Jesus, the Prince of Peace, returns.

In Christ,

Amen

Part 12 of 14

For about 2000 years, God’s people were separated ethnically, culturally and religiously from the nations of the world.  Then God began creating a new humanity, building them into the church.
