Prayers for Peace and Protection |
|
| Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. — John 14:27 Father, You are slow to anger, gracious in mercy, and abounding in love. You are worthy of all praise and honor.
I humbly ask for Your peace in my life. The stressors in my life cause many sleepless nights and worries and concerns. Fill me with Your peace, and reassure me that You are there and in control.
Comfort and bless my loved ones. They, too, have to endure many challenges. Calm their spirits, and focus their hearts on You.
Thank You for caring about every part of our lives and every member of our families. Thank You for the Holy Spirit, who is our great Comforter.
In Jesus' name, amen.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. — James 5:16 NIV
Father, You lead your people and hear their prayers. You know each of Your sheep by name. You are the great and wonderful Shepherd.
Help me find a trustworthy prayer partner. Too often, I try to go it alone, and I'm reluctant to share my spiritual life with others. Please change my heart. Give me a passion to reach out to other Christians so we can pray for one another and seek Your will together. Help those in my community. Ignite a desire in them to know You. Use me, and raise up Christians in our midst. I pray that those who live around me will come to know You. Thank You for putting people in our paths who can walk this road of faith with us. Thank You for all the believers worldwide. May Your mighty name continue to spread throughout the earth.
In Jesus' holy name, amen.

The plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. — Psalm 33:11–12 NIV Dear Father, from the beginning of time, You have planned the path Your people would take. Your infinite mind thought of me long before I was born. I am humbled by Your incredible love. I struggle with doubts and fear about my future. I don't trust You nearly as much as I should. Please forgive me and reinforce my faith in You. Help me understand and believe that You are in control and have a good plan for me, my family, and my career. Bless my family today. Help them know that all things rest in Your hands and that You always have their best interests in mind. Don't let them fear the future. Thank You for ordering our steps and guiding our way. I am thankful to know that Your thoughts are always for our good.
In Your Son's name, amen.
