Today we will be dealing with Prayers for Restoration of Peace in the World. Are you tired of turning on the news and seeing nothing but chaos and violence? Do you long for a world where peace reigns supreme? Many people around the globe share this sentiment, and as a result, there has been a growing movement towards prayers for the restoration of peace in the world.
These prayers are not limited to any particular religion or belief system. Instead, they are a call to all people of goodwill to come together and ask for divine intervention in bringing about peace.
As believers we must continue to seek the peace of the world. We must continue to guide it through our actions and reactions. The scripture said in the book of Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “those who love you shall prosper. This world is our Jerusalem and we must continue to secure the peace of this world.
The Purpose of God For Man
One of the most important reasons God created man is for fellowship. And God doesn’t want that fellowship with the believers alone. He wants the gospel of the word to be spread abroad so that there will be more people to fellowship with Him. But this won’t be possible in a case when there is war or great unrest in the world.
Also, as believers, we need some semblance of peace to enjoy our lives. It is never the purpose of God for us to live in fear, pain or agony caused by war. That’s why at any given chance, we must always seek the peace of the world. The enemy is roaming day and night looking for a way to disturb the peace of the world. It is your duty as a believer to ensure that doesn’t happen through prayers.
Contemporary Prayers for Peace
Prayers in Times of Conflict
During times of conflict, it can be difficult to find peace. However, there are prayers that can help you find inner peace and calmness. One such prayer is the Serenity Prayer, which is often used by those in recovery programs. The prayer goes as follows:
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.”
Another prayer that can be helpful during times of conflict is the Prayer for Peace by Saint Francis of Assisi. This prayer reminds us that we should strive to be instruments of peace, and that we should seek to understand others rather than judge them. The prayer goes as follows:
“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.”
Prayers for Unity and Reconciliation
Prayers for unity and reconciliation can be helpful in bringing people together and healing relationships that have been damaged. One such prayer is the Prayer for Unity by the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. This prayer reminds us that we should strive to see the good in others, even when we disagree with them. The prayer goes as follows:
“Lord, we thank you for your goodness and your mercy. We pray that you will bless us with the spirit of unity and reconciliation. Help us to see the good in others, even when we disagree with them. Give us the strength to work together for the common good, and to build a world of peace and justice.”
Another prayer that can be helpful in promoting unity and reconciliation is the Prayer for Forgiveness. This prayer reminds us that forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing relationships and bringing people together. The prayer goes as follows:
“Lord, we pray that you will help us to forgive those who have wronged us, and to seek forgiveness from those we have wronged. Help us to let go of our anger and bitterness, and to work towards reconciliation and healing. Give us the courage to reach out to others, even when it is difficult, and to build bridges of understanding and compassion.”
