Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? His love and care is so Beautiful! Become a child of God and pray some prayers for peace and joy today!
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27 KJV)
Peace begins in the heart that longs for reconciliation. That reconciliation begins with a desire to know God. And God places that desire within the child who suddenly realizes that the world is too bleak without Jesus.
We were meant to commune with our Heavenly Father not just on special occasions, but perpetually. Prayer is that communion that connects us so tenderly to our Celestial King. And prayers for peace and joy is the language that helps us to experience His LOVE in boundless waves.
We may be confronted with an unending supply of earthly worries: stress, lack of time or money, family troubles, sickness, storms, war, crime, famine...the problems seem endless! But with Jesus, we don't have to deal with the world's problems on our own. He will give us His peace if we only dare to ask for it!
Some people may find this difficult, as earthly parents sometimes fail at providing the love and affection so dearly desired. But God, in His IMMENSE LOVE, never fails His adopted children.
His Love is Constant. His Peace is just a prayer away. First, become a child of God, and then pray the prayers for peace and joy and expect to be amazed at the comfort you will experience even when the world is falling apart all around you!
And the beauty of Prayers for Peace and Joy, is that they not only benefit you, but the people around you, too! With some practice, you will find yourself desiring to reach more and more people, not only in your sphere of influence, but also in far away places. Places that are struggling to find any peace, like war torn Ukraine, or Israel.
Peace begins in the heart that surrenders to God and His will. Pray some prayers for peace and joy for you and the world. God will always be answering your prayers...
Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. (Psalm 121:4 KJV)
Prayers for Peace and Joy
Dear Heavenly Father,
Oh, Dear Lord, thank You for this day. Thank You for your Tender Mercies that are new each morning!
Please forgive me my sins.
Dear Lord, please help heal our land. We are surrounded by division in our countries, in our towns, in our neighborhoods, in our churches, even in our own homes.
We have rebelled against You and have strayed from Your commands. We have allowed our emotions to dictate our actions.
Please forgive us.
Please help us to extend peace, even when we are attacked. Please help us to love and share Jesus' Good News.
Please lift our hearts and give us Your JOY, PEACE, and GRACE, that we may only BLESS others and Not Curse.
Help us to be Salt and Light. Help us to be Good Samaritans, to see the hurting in this world and to respond with LOVE and COMPASSION!
Please help us to LOVE each precious life on this planet. Please help us to LOVE people of ALL races, nationalities, beliefs, backgrounds, and sexual preferences. Please help us to stand courageous and to speak the Truth in LOVE to those blinded by the temptations of this world: the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. (See 1 John 2:16)
Yes, please help us to speak the Truth in LOVE, for so many are being hurt by not knowing that God hates sin and that there is only one way to Heaven, that is Jesus Christ!
He hates sin but loves sinners! He wouldn't have sent Jesus into the world if this were not the TRUTH! (See John 3:16)
Help us to LOVE people who don't agree with us for we are all sinners in need of a Savior. (See Romans 3:23)
Please open the eyes of ALL people that they may know that True Joy and Peace comes from a personal relationship with You, Jesus, and following all the commands of our Holy and Righteous GOD!
May they know the TRUTH, and be set FREE! (See John 8:32)
Help us to be Jesus' heart, hands and feet to others. Show us how to LOVE them in ACTION, Not only in Word.
Please lift our spirits, for we need help during such a time as this. Please heal our land, Dear Father! (See 2 Chronicles 7:14)
Thank You for answering our prayers, O LORD!
In Jesus' Precious Name I pray. Amen!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Oh, how Wonderful YOU are, Dear LORD! Your Majesty is Infinite and Your LOVE Secure!
Thank YOU for the inspiration to pray for the Peace of the World, Dear Jesus! I know that You are working miracles as I pray.
The more Love You pour out unto me, the more Love I desire to send out to ALL people. Your LOVE is So Divine! Thank You for this precious gift that sustains me every moment!
I remember when I was lost and without hope. And then You rescued me as soon as I called upon You!
Oh, that the whole World would long to experience Your Love! There would be an instantaneous outpouring of Peace and Joy and Wellbeing!
Don't delay, O LORD! Send this Peace and Calm to the entire World. Awaken those who are asleep. Woo them with YOUR Love!
I further pray that Christians everywhere are praying prayers for peace and joy to help deliver all those who are in trauma or living in war torn places throughout the globe.
Unite us in peace, joy, and love as we extend our petitions to as many people as possible.
Be with us as we pray our prayers for our country. That all people would begin to seek peace where there has been so much unrest and division. Help us to be gentle quiet spirits to those who are angry.
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. (Proverbs 15:1 KJV)
Help us to be comforters to those who are afraid.
Inspire us to pray these Prayers for Peace and Joy unceasingly! (See 1 Thessalonians 5:17)
What a joy it is to pray! In Jesus' Precious Name I pray!
Amen!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the Bible! It contains YOUR Truth, and is inerrant! It is the complete guide to Righteousness, and we so need it for Holy living!
Please forgive us for neglecting to follow Your commands!
So often we need corrected, so that we continue to follow Your commands with reverential fear. We so easily stray from Your path and this leads to unrest and sinful choices.
Please guide us back to YOUR Word so that we can experience Your Peace and Joy!
Please help us to speak the TRUTH in LOVE to those who don't yet have a personal relationship with You, Dear Jesus.
You made us in YOUR image, Dear Heavenly Father, and You don't make mistakes! Please help each person to know that You made him or her perfectly, as YOU intended. Help them to accept their bodies as YOU created them!
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. (Genesis 1:27 KJV)
Protect them from the evil one who would have them believe that there is something wrong with the way that they were made!
Open their eyes and soften their hearts for YOUR Truth. Let them know that You LOVE them Exactly as You created them, for YOU are LOVE (See 1 John 4:7-8)
Give them a sense of peace and comfort in their bodies and help them to love and accept themselves as they were made, not as they long to be.
Guide and protect them, for there are many people who will attempt to attack them hatefully. But YOU, O LORD, desire that they are treated with LOVE and COMPASSION, and that they would repent and call upon Jesus to become their LORD & SAVIOR.
When YOU say ALL who call upon the name of Jesus will be saved, that means ALL PEOPLE who realize they are sinners in need of a Savior, no matter the sins they have committed!
Jesus' Love is ALL Inclusive for ALL People!
Guide ALL People to You, Jesus, that they may become adopted children of the MOST HIGH GOD!
I pray for the peace of the world and ALL its inhabitants! That we may live peacefully with one another and seek the highest good for one another!
Help us to Love one another, to believe in the best and to forgive the worst. For that is what Jesus did by going to the Cross. He willingly died for us that we may live!
Please help us to sacrifice our own needs for others and help them in all ways so that they may simply live in peace and protection in this sin sick world!
Let us be the hands and feet of Jesus to those who are marginalized and treated with contempt. Jesus' way is the path to peace, love, compassion, forgiveness, contentment and joy!
May we all realize the importance of following YOUR commands for Righteous Living, Dear Heavenly Father, that we may all live in peace with one another. Help us to not envy anyone, for envy is the path to discontentment and sorrow!
I pray that every person would take this to heart and come to You, Jesus, for Salvation and healing!
In Your Precious Name I pray. Amen!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your Divine Peace and Joy, O LORD! How I praise YOU for Your personal relationship with me. It's so wonderful to be able to talk with You every day, all day long!
Please forgive me for complaining.
So often we are caught up in the bad news of this world that we forget to count our blessings and remember that YOU have already conquered death! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS!
Please forgive us!
Help us to see the beauty that is in the world. Help us to be beacons of light. Remind us that there are lots of people who are doing YOUR will by spreading love and peace to ALL our neighbors.
And who are our neighbors?....Every person we encounter. Please help us to be kind and loving to each person that we meet each day. Help us to comfort those who are having a hard time.
Help us to be a soothing presence and may we ask others how they are doing, and not just in a superficial way. Help us to really desire to know how a person is feeling so that we may extend hope to him or her. So many people are going through a hard time right now and they need to know that people care deeply for them, and that Jesus died and rose again for them!
Show us how we should love our neighbors, Dear Father!
Help us to protect the honest and hardworking migrant families who are in this country seeking a better life for themselves! Please protect them from racism and please keep their families together! Help them to secure legal status in this country so that they may live in peace and harmony with us.
Help us to demonstrate peace, love, compassion and understanding to these families that others in our country would see a good example of loving our neighbors as ourselves.
Please plant Jesus, prayer, love and compassion on each person's heart: those who are afraid, those who are angry, those who are persecuting others because of the color of their skin. Nothing is impossible for YOU, LORD! (See Luke 1:37, Luke 18:27)
Please open the eyes of the blind who are spreading lies and sewing seeds of hatred toward others! Please soften their hearts! Do what only YOU can do, O LORD! Develop compassion in their hearts that they may extend peace, also!
Please remind us that peace begins with us, Dear Jesus! Help us to desire peace over being right, peace over fear, peace over anger, peace over selfishness, even peace over our own lives!
Help us to sacrifice our own needs and to deny ourselves that others may live in peace and harmony in this world.
Please bring Heaven down to earth this day, that all people would experience YOUR PEACE, LOVE, and JOY, Dear Abba Father!!!
In Jesus' Precious Name I pray. Amen!
Dear Heavenly Father,
I praise YOU for Your Goodness! All the Time You are Good!!
Please forgive me for the times I let impatience overwhelm me and dictate my actions!
O LORD, how difficult it is to wait! Please help me to be patient! Help me to extend PEACE! Help me to be patient with others when I am annoyed.
I desire to be more resilient, O LORD! I desire to not be affected by things that are outside of my control. Please give me serenity!
I am laying my impatience and annoyances at Your feet. Please take these burdens from me and elevate me with Your love and comfort, O LORD!
Thank You for Your Peace! Thank You for Your Joy! This feeling of Wellbeing is SO DIVINE!!
Please help us, Lord, to want ALL People to experience this PEACE and JOY! Especially now, please help us to embrace ALL PEOPLE! Help us to LOVE as YOU LOVE!
Help us to seek the highest good for others. When we retaliate against others for their misdeeds, we are part of the problem. Let Peace begin with US, Dear LORD!
Show us that we are all responsible for the problems in this world and that is why we need JESUS!
Help us to take the planks out of our eyes before we complain about the specks in our neighbors' eyes! (See Matthew 7:3-5)
Judge not, that ye be not judged. (Matthew 7:1 KJV)
Thank You that You continue to forgive us, even though it's hard for us to forgive others! Thank You that Your Mercy Endures Forever! (See Jeremiah 33:11)
Please remind us to pray when we are attacked, so that we don't fall into temptation to retaliate! Please place a guard on our mouths that we would not speak evil! (See Psalm 141:3)
Thank You for answering our prayers!
In Jesus' Precious Name I pray!
Amen!
