Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your divine peace to fill our hearts and lives. Lord, grant us the grace to live as true brothers and sisters, causing no harm to one another. As Your Word says in Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." May we embody this peace in all our interactions.
O God of the poor, we ask for Your guidance and strength to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth, who are so precious in Your eyes. Help us to be Your hands and feet, showing love and compassion to those in need, as You have commanded us in Proverbs 31:8-9, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
Lord, bring healing to our lives so that we may protect this world You have so wonderfully created. Help us to be stewards of Your creation, not predators. Let us sow beauty, not pollution and destruction, as we are reminded in Genesis 2:15, "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
