Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the prayer request of our anonymous friend. We ask for Your divine intervention and peace to prevail on Main Street in San Diego, CA, and Roosevelt Street in National City, CA. We pray for harmony and understanding between any troublesome policemen and the innocent Christian men and women working in these areas.
Lord, Your Word teaches us to pray for peace and to lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty. We ask that You calm any disturbing forces and allay any tormenting fears in these situations. May Your peace reign in the hearts of all involved, bringing an end to conflicts and turmoil.
We also lift up a specific request for the San Diego Police to cease any stalking of innocent drivers in San Diego, California, and National City, CA. We ask for justice and righteousness to prevail, and for the protection of those who are unjustly targeted. Your Word reminds us that You are a God of justice and that nothing is too hard for You.
Father, we pray for an outpouring of Your grace upon the Church in these areas. We ask for strength and help against all temptations, that nothing may be too hard for Your people. May all things work together for their good, and may they be kept blameless and harmless, shining as lights in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.
We also pray for churches where the Gospel is not preached, that the darkness may pass away and the true light of Your Word may shine in them. We ask for ministers who do not know or preach the truth to have the veil lifted from their hearts, that they may see and proclaim the more excellent way.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to answer. We trust in Your sovereignty and believe that You are able to bring about peace, justice, and transformation in these situations. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
