Personal Prayer
Praise the God of peace. Thank him for making available that “peace at all times and in every way” (2 Thess. 3:16). Confess ways in which you have added to an argument or refused to let God’s peace be established between you and another person. Commit to being at peace with God and others by being both pure in heart and a peacemaker (Mt. 5:8-9). Ask God to spread the wholeness of his salvation through you.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for any marriages or parent-child relationships among family and friends where God’s peace is not being experienced right now. Ask God to help you know how and when to speak, be quiet, mediate, etc.

For the Church
Pray for the fellowship of your local church to be unhindered by strife and controversy. Ask God to also bring his peace to your denomination.

For the Kingdom
Pray for those who are peacemakers between nations in conflict. Ask God to prompt Christians to full involvement as peacemakers.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that the willingness of Christians to resolve even difficult differences will be a brilliant display of God’s love to the unsaved. Ask God to bring an unsaved friend into his family.
