Let’s read aloud together the following passages and prayer:
Philippians 4:5b-9 (NIV)
5 …The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Isaiah 26:3-4 (NIV)
3 You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
4 Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.
2 Thess 3:16 (NIV)
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
Prayer: Yes Lord! Give us your peace at all times and in every way. Lord of peace, be with our churches, leading us by your Spirit into your word, into prayer, into thoughts fixed on you and trusting in you, into putting what is good into practice. Thank you for your presence and your ways that keep us in perfect peace. In Jesus’ name, amen.
