This is a Prayer for Peace from 12 months ago, but one that is worth repeating.

Children are especially vulnerable in times of conflict and the situation is overwhelming for them when they hear and see what is happening around them. Pray that despite everything, they can experience that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard their hearts and their minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) And may they also be reminded of Jesus’ words in John 14:27 where he says: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Pray for Peaceful Hearts

Dear God, so many people and so many kids must be so scared right now.

Please comfort their hearts.

Take away their fear.

Give them peace in their hearts.

And let them know that You watch over them day and night.

When they sleep and when they are awake, You are always with them.

Amen (WEA Children’s Network)
