A Prayer for Peace...

God of peace and justice, we pray for people in places of conflict... 
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.

We pray for all those who fear tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. 
 

We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
