Heavenly Father,
Thank you that we can come before you to ask you for peace. Lord, because of lack of peace we suffer much. Because of lack of peace we cry out to you, asking you to speak it into our lives, in all the forms that it is needed. We ask you to speak peace between husbands and wives; speak your peace between parents and their offspring; speak your peace where there is strife and where communication lines lay torn.
Holy Spirit descend upon us soon with peace in Your hand, and move our hearts to reach out for it, because it is in Your heart to give it. You are “the best negotiator at human conflict resolution in the universe” ...regardless of whether those conflicts are small or big in our eyes; You can resolve them the same if they are young or days-old.
Help us make a way for You. Fill the gaps between us, with You. Your Word says that Jesus “destroys the barrier of hostility between us.” Make that manifest, dear Lord. Heal the hurts and bless our efforts toward peace. Fill the breaches with “shalom,” putting an end to conflict and bringing about restoration to right relationship, to fulfill the complete dimension of that word. In the name of our loved Jesus, Amen.
