125 – Do our prayers to end war do any good?

This past week, we’ve heard the news that Russia has invaded Ukraine. Tensions had been mounting for quite some time. But diplomatic efforts were not effective in stopping the onslaught of war. People all over the world are offering prayers to end this war.

I believe these prayers will help resolve the problem.

If you’re reading this (or listening to this podcast) the day it's published, I realize things are developing quickly in Ukraine and I may not have the latest information since I wrote this several days ago.

If you're reading this at a later time, some of the ideas I share may or may not still seem relevant, but my goal here is to offer some encouragement and ideas on how our prayers to end war can be effective.

In this week's episode of The Bible Speaks to You Podcast, I look at several examples in the Bible when prayer helped avert war and destruction by a military power.

The stories we discuss are

  • Moses and the Children of Israel at the edge of the Red Sea when Pharaoh's army was approaching. 
  • King Jehoshaphat's prayers and the collective prayers of all the inhabitants of Judah when Jerusalem was about to be attacked by three huge armies

I share some ways to pray about resolving conflicts, whether it's war between family members, church members, political parties, or countries.

And here's my question for you. How do you think Christ Jesus would mediate the tensions between Ukraine  and Russia?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. And I'd love to hear how you pray to bring war to an end.
