Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister SharonJoan's heartfelt request. Lord, we pray for Your divine intervention in the lives of everyone around the world. There is so much sadness and turmoil, and we ask that You bring peace and comfort to those who are suffering.
Your Word says in Philippians 4:6-7, "Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." We hold onto this promise, Lord, and ask that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of all people.
We also remember the words of Jesus in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." May Your peace reign in every heart, dispelling fear and sadness.
Lord, we trust in Your power to bring about change and healing. We ask that You smooth the paths of those who are struggling and bring joy where there is sorrow. May Your love and grace be evident in every situation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
