PEACE

"Rejoice in the Lrod always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4-7

Prayer connects us to the Father in an intimate communion of heart, soul and spirit - it is a mysterious dialogue of love and power with a most Holy God. And Jesus is our faithful intercessor - our heavenly ambassador who presents our prayers to God. Through prayer, God's power is released to work in your life and the lives of others, bringing peace and comfort in knowing He has heard you and will answer you in His time.
 
When you present your requests to God, do so in humble submission with thanksgiving in your heart. The Lord will then guard your heart and mind with peace that transcends all understanding.
 
Heavenly Father, I ask you this day that Your hand be upon our nation and all of the nations on earth. Please guide our president, the leaders of our country, and leaders around the world, from the smallest of towns to our global communities. We lift up the wars that are raging now, and we ask for peace for all who are affected by them. We ask that You bless soldiers and their families, our missionaries, our pastors, friends, and our families. Please bless the hungry, the sick, and the lonely. Thank You that Your love, grace, and peace are available to all the people of the world. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
 
Hope you are having a great Monday. Stay warm
Blessings,
