Prayer For Peace During Times of War

#Spiritualjourney
#prayerforpeace


Loving God, You are the Father of all mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction.
You, Lord God, are the creator of the universe, who is concerned like a Father would, about every creature You have created.

Heavenly Father, Listen to the cry that rises from every corner of this fragile earth, from our human family torn by violent conflict.
We pray for your intervention in these crucial times, where nations are at war against each other.
Lord God, violence is never the answer. It destroys Your good creation and it grieves Your heart when people resort to it.


We earnestly pray that You send your Holy Spirit into the hearts of these men, so that they may hate war and love peace.

Lord, we ask that You arise and put an end to all violence.
Extinguish pain and misery wherever it is found, and spread Your gift of grace and peace.
There are those who have taken up arms in anger or revenge, or even in the cause of justice.
Grant them the grace and mercy so that they convert themselves and move to the path of peaceful dialogue instead of violence.

Let forgiveness reign and end the bloodshed.
Grant the wisdom to the leaders of the world, that they see beyond the boundaries of race, religion, and nation.
Let them understand the common humanity that makes us all your children, and brothers and sisters to one another.

Almighty Father, there are innocent people, who live in the shadow of war and terror, especially the frightened children, Be their shelter and strength, their haven and hope.

We also pray for those who have already lost their lives as victims of human cruelty and chemical warfare.

Open wide your arms and enfold them all in the embrace of your compassion, healing, and everlasting life.
Grant us peace, O good and gracious God, that peace which, as your son Jesus Christ told us, is a peace which the world cannot give.
Lord God, No one is a stranger to you, and no one is ever far from your loving care.
In your kindness, watch over refugees and victims of war, Those separated from their loved ones,
Young people who are lost, And those who have left home or who have run away from home.
Bring them back safely to the place where they long to be,


And help us always to show your kindness, to strangers and to all in need.
According to Your good and gracious will, remove the causes and occasions of this war, and restore peace among the nations.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
