15 Prayers For Peace



One thing that everybody desires is peace in every area of their lives. When a person becomes a Christian one of the benefits they experience is the peace of God. The Scriptures speak of three kinds of peace; peace from God, peace of God, and peace on earth. The Bible teaches us that we are separated from Him before we trust Jesus Christ and receive Him as our Lord and personal Savior. Once a person is saved, there is peace between them and God. Peace from God comes when a person trusts Christ as their Savior, this peace is a result of the new relationship we have with God. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).


The peace of God, this is the peace of the soul that all believers can experience during times of trial. The Apostle Paul addressed the church in Rome by saying: This is a supernatural peace that comes from God during our times of struggle and unease. It is beyond all human understanding: To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 1:7).Because we have trusted Christ as our Savior we can experience this wonderful peace of God no matter what the circumstances. This is a peace that unbelievers cannot understand or experience. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ (Philippians 4:7).


Peace on Earth is the unlimited peace promised by God when Jesus returns and sets up His Kingdom on the earth. The prophet Isaiah records God's plan for His Son Jesus. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform it (Isaiah 9:6,7).When a person becomes a Christian, they become at peace with God. There is a relationship formed now between themselves and the Creator. As they experience difficulty in trials and tribulations, they receive the peace of God to help them get through the tough times. Finally, all of creation will experience God's peace when Christ returns to set up His everlasting Kingdom.



BIBLE VERSES FOR PEACE



These prayers for peace ask God to relieve anxiety and stress, and grant a clarity of mind to feel at ease in one’s life. Say them in the morning or evening when you are going through some difficult times, on a daily basis until you feel at peace. God bless.


PRAYERS


1.Prayer for Inner Peace.

Dear God, I have so much going on in my life that I don’t know which way to turn. I come to You, broken in spirit, to ask You to calm my inner turmoil. I have tried to sort things out in my own way, but it is all futile, so in my humbleness, I come before You Lord and submit to You, asking You to grant me peace of mind and a quieting to my soul. Please give me Your peace and Your strength. I know that without You I can do nothing, but I also know that Your peace is poured into the hearts of those that trust in You with all their hearts. Lord, I trust You now and forever and I give my life and future into Your hands, Amen.

2. Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; 

and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; 

accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; 

trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.


3.A Prayer For Peace With Your Faith

God, teach us what it means to have faith in silence. When we face trials that are beyond our understanding, help us to find peace. Help me be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. You set all things in accordance to Your time. Remind us to wait patiently, and find peace in Your plan. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.


4. A Prayer for Peace & Positivity

Lord, how I long to break free from negative thinking and embrace peace and joy and optimism. I invite You to begin transforming my thought patterns and help me recognize, reject and replace thoughts that are not pleasing to You.

Bring peace into my soul that surpasses all worldly understanding and make me a light for others to see Your strength, in Jesus name. Amen.


6.Prayer For Peace Instead of War

Father, I want to live a life of obedience to You. Make me an instrument of Your peace. Teach me to love even my enemies. Give me the strength to wage peace when what I really want to do is wage war. Today, I choose to surrender my stubborn will to You. I lay down my emotional weapons and choose peace. Be glorified in my relationships, Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen.


7.A Prayer to Heal Stress

Heavenly Father, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart. My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can’t seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path You’ve laid out for me. I trust

Your Love God, and know that You will heal this stress. Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night. Please bring me clarity with the light of God. In Your name I pray. Amen.

Help me to depend on You in all things, knowing that nights of sadness will soon be turned into mornings of joy, when You are by my side. Keep me from fretful thoughts and foolish imaginings, knowing that You are my best and heavenly Friend, my Shepherd, my Provider, my Defender and the Rock of my salvation. Draw me every closer to Your heart of love. Quiet my spirit, still my soul and instil in my inner being Your perfect peace that passes all understanding. Help me I pray, to be still and know that You are God, my God in Whom I trust. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.


9.Prayer for reassuring peace.

Dear Heavenly Father, when I look at the circumstances of my life and at the world around me, there are many reasons to worry. Many reasons to fear. Many reasons for unrest. But when I look at You, all else fades away. When I remember Your unfailing love, Your unsurpassed wisdom, Your unending goodness, and Your unmatchable power, I can’t help but be at peace with You my God on my side. It’s in the name of my Savior and Source of peace, Jesus Christ, that I pray. Amen.


10.Prayer to receive the Gift of Peace

Lord, thank You for Your promise and gift of peace. Thank You that YOU are my PEACE, my perfect Prince of Peace who died on my behalf so that I could live in peace, because You have conquered the king of fear. You have trampled the enemy under Your feet. Help me not to be afraid when trouble comes my way.
