Light our way, O Lord. We are grateful for your guiding hand, your gentle nudges and smiling God-winks. Give us peace today, Father, the kind of peace that penetrates every fiber of our being. The kind of peace that let’s us know everything is in its place in the world and everything is happening according to your divine plan. We know, Father, that our struggles may continue, but gratitude in our hearts allows us to live joyfully and peacefully. Chaos may be surging on the storm, but we know a lasting peace inside us where you dwell. Inside that sacred space, is a love so clear and pure that when we get to know it and really feel it, we can’t help but feel deeply grateful for the absolute miracle of life that you’ve given us. Your abundance knows no limits and we are blessed beyond measure.

Help us feel that peace inside. A restful peace that allows us to breathe normally again and just be. To naturally feel a sense of hope and joy about every next moment, and a knowing that more comes after that. To feel secure in knowing that you will always guide us to be in the right place at the right timing to find our greatest passion for life, one that expands our hearts to lasting fullness.

Give us Peace in our world, O Lord. May we know the kind of peace for which we’ve been longing. One where we can raise our children and grandchildren in good health and safety. Peace that permeates all relationships with loved ones and burns away all hurts and angst, leaving the truth of love there remaining. Give us peace in our day so that we may know a hopeful future again, and the joy of setting our hands to work toward it, together.

It is in faith that we know this to be entirely possible.

In Jesus’ name,

So be it,

Amen.
