Speaker 0I really believe that we're looking for peace , whatever our lives look like , whatever we are doing and wherever we live . I really believe that we are looking for something that money cannot buy . So let's turn to the book of john , chapter 14 , verse 27 , that famous scripture . We're going to take it into prayer , and the title of the prayer today is pray for peace amid war and conflict . Father , in the name of Jesus , I ask for peace first , lord , across my brothers and sisters , and Lord , as we pray through John 14 , verse 27 . We need peace , dear God , because we're worried about war and we're worried about conflict , we're worried about the atmosphere outside of our four walls of our home . So , father , your word tells us in john 14 , verse 27 peace I leave with you , my peace I give to you . I do not give to you as the world gives . Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid . Spirit of the living god . I'm scared , lord , I'm worried , lord , when I see and watch and listen to the news . Lord , help me , lord , not to take in what the news is saying . But , lord , give me peace for my heart . Today I'm worried about the future , lord . I'm worried about war . Lord , I pray for peace in wartime , right now , in the name of Jesus , I pray for peace . I pray , lord , for rest . I pray , dear God , that you will move by your spirit , by your glory , by your power , by your love and by your mercy , lord .
Speaker 0But , lord , I'm frightened , lord , I'm frightened of what I see across the news . I'm frightened by what is around me , lord , on the streets , in the towns . Lord , we're frightened , jesus . So , lord , we need peace . Lord , we know that we are born again Christians , but , lord , what we see is affecting us . So , lord , will you bring peace in times of conflict ? Lord , we pray also for the peace of God to be right the way through the Middle East . We pray that the love of God will be right the way through the Middle East . And Lord , please , god , set the captives free . Bless families , lord , in war-torn , conflict zones , lord , where everything is happening . So , father , bring peace to those areas . We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ .
Speaker 0Lord and Father , give us stability for our minds today . Lord , we're frightened of world war . Yes , lord , I'm frightened of world war and I come to you today and I'm seeking your peace . Today , I'm seeking your love because , lord , you tell me in the Gospel of John 14 , 27 , do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid . But , lord , I'm afraid and I'm not frightened to tell the world through this prayer time together . Lord , give me stability . Lord , help me to seek ye first , the kingdom of God .
Speaker 0Lord , we also pray for refugees today and we pray , father , for displaced people across the world . We pray for the persecuted church .

Speaker 0Father , we pray for families that are torn apart by war and conflict , terrorism and violence . Spirit of the living God . Please will you help us , lord , during this time of civil unrest . Lord , we look across the world , lord , and it's in turmoil . We need the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords . So , all of us today , wherever we are birthed , whatever our culture is , father , we pray for peace over all of our lives and you will bring together , lord , peace across this world .
Speaker 0So , father , help me to find peace in times of war . Help us , lord , to look at you in times of trouble . Lord , you tell me . You tell me , father , in the Gospel of John 14 , 27, . Peace I leave with you , lord . Will you give me more peace , lord , will you just let it rain down on all of our listeners' ears today ? Will you let it rain down on their life today ?
