Shared Prayer

Heavenly Father You are worthy of all praise, and we come before You with grateful hearts. We are surrounded by conflict, uncertainty, and fear in many places across the earth, and we ask You to let Your peace rule where confusion and violence have taken hold. Your word declares that You are not the author of confusion, but of peace. We stand on that promise and we trust that Your order, Your calm, and Your protection are greater than every threat. We ask You to protect the vulnerable, comfort the grieving, and open the eyes of those in authority to choose what is right. Jesus said, lo, I am with you always, and we rest in that assurance even now. According to Your word, You will make a way where there seems to be none. Thank You, Father, for hearing our cry and working in the earth even where we cannot see it. We bless your holy name. Amen.
