PRAY FOR PEACE!
Lord, have mercy on us, and give us peace. We pray for peace in the world, between administrations and countries, between people of different religions, between people of differing tribes, or different political parties. We pray for peace from terror and from destruction of wild fires, floods and natural calamities. We pray for peace for countries, families and individuals touched by terrorism, by war, by hatred and by injustice. We pray for that peace that passes all human understanding. We pray that you would use us Lord, as instruments of your peace.
“Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The Blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus’ bosom nought but calm is found.
Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus’ keeping we are safe, and they.
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.
Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.”
