Prayers for peace

Receiving Your peace

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.John 14:27 (World English Bible)

Jesus, I bring You what is on my heart, without trying to arrange it into the right words. You know what this moment holds.

Let Your peace settle into my thoughts and shape my response to what comes next. Help me receive it as a gift, rather than something I must earn by having everything under control.

In Your name, Amen.

Peace the world can’t give

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.John 14:27 (World English Bible)

Jesus, You promised Your peace, not the fragile kind that depends on everything going well, but Yours.

I receive it now. Where my heart is troubled, speak calm. Where I am afraid, stay close. Let Your peace stand guard over my thoughts today.

In Your name, Amen.

Peace without every answer

Peace beside sadness
