It's no secret that there is a lot going on in the world right now. It seems like everyday there is a new threat to be afraid of, a new injustice to be angry about or a new death toll to grieve over. In a time like this, it easy to get swept up in arguing over who is right and who is wrong. It's easy to get angry and in effect, create more division. The fact of the matter is that no amount of arguing or carefully thought out Facebook posts about political opinions will change things. This is not a problem humanity can fix. The world needs prayer.
"Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up in honor." James 4:10
-Pray for love and healing in the U.S. and throughout the world
-Pray for changed hearts across the world
-Pray that out of tragedy would come unity
-Pray for the healing of racism in the world
-Pray for an outpouring of forgiveness
-Pray for the comfort of the families who have lost loved ones
-Pray for the protection of those who continue to serve and protect our communities
-Pray for the leaders of our country and the future leaders of our country to be prepared and equipped to make wise decisions
-Pray that the church would take advantage of the opportunity to love and serve their communities
-Pray that division among people will close and we can come to a place of understanding and fellowship
Out of the darkness of recent events came come a great good. Let the chain of violence end here.
John 14: 27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
