One example are the verses ascribed to <a href=\"\/node\/80182\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">King David<\/a>, probably written around 3,000 years ago:<\/p>\n<p>Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:<br \/>\n\u201cMay those who love you be secure.<br \/>\nMay there be peace within your walls<br \/>\nand security within your citadels.\u201d<br \/>\nFor the sake of my family and friends,<br \/>\nI will say, \u201cPeace be within you\u201d (Psalm 122:6-8 NIV).<\/p>\n<p>I regularly pray those words, just as they are recorded in our Bibles, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/how-to-pray-for-communities-near-and-far\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">praying for peace in Jerusalem<\/a> (the very name of which includes the Hebrew word for peace: \u201cshalom\u201d). But I also apply those lines more broadly, adapting and applying them to contemporary situations, along with numerous other biblical prayers and admonitions to promote peace. Here are seven prayers for peace, drawn from the Bible:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)\u00a0\u00a0Prayer for perfect peace in your heart and soul<\/strong><br \/>\nLord, the prophet Isaiah said to You, \u201cYou will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You\u201d (Isaiah 26:3 NIV). And Jesus, You said, &#8220;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\u201d (John 14:27 NIV). So, I pray for that perfect peace of Christ (Colossians 3:15) to <a href=\"\/node\/77872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rule in my heart<\/a> and soul.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)\u00a0\u00a0Prayer for peaceful sleep<\/strong><br \/>\nHeavenly Father, as the psalmist sang, \u201cIn peace I will <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/a-good-time-to-pray-when-you-cant-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lie down and sleep<\/a>, for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety\u201d (Psalm 4:8 NIV).<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)\u00a0\u00a0Prayer for peace in the church\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nGod, Your word says, \u201cThe Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace\u201d (Psalm 29:11 NIV). Help me and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/a-church-pastor-on-fear-and-faith-while-social-distancing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Your whole church<\/a> to \u201cMake every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace\u201d (Ephesians 4:3 NIV).<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)\u00a0\u00a0Prayer to be a peacemaker<\/strong><br \/>\nJesus, You said, \u201cBlessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God\u201d (Matthew 5:9 NIV). I want to be blessed; I <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/addiction-and-recovery\/he-learned-to-see-his-wife-through-gods-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choose to be a peacemaker<\/a>, knowing that \u201cPeacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness\u201d (James 3:18 NIV).<\/p>\n<p><strong>5)\u00a0\u00a0Prayer for the peace that passes understanding<\/strong><br \/>\nPrince of Peace, I ask for You to fulfill in me the promise of Your word that \u201cthe peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus\u201d (Philippians 4:7 NIV).<\/p>\n<p><strong>6)\u00a0\u00a0Prayer to live in peace with all<\/strong><br \/>\nGod, since Your word says, \u201cIf it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone\u201d (Romans 12:18 NIV), I ask You to help me \u201cmake every effort to do what leads to\u00a0peace\u201d (Romans 14:19 NIV), that I and those around me \u201cmay live peaceful and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/declutter-your-mind-with-prayer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quiet lives<\/a> in all godliness and holiness\u201d (1 Timothy 2:2 NIV).<\/p>\n<p><strong>7)\u00a0\u00a0Prayer for the peace of a city, region or home<\/strong><br \/>\nGod, I pray for the peace of __________:<br \/>\n\u201cMay those who love you be secure.<br \/>\nMay there be peace within your walls<br \/>\nand security within your boundaries.<br \/>\nFor the sake of everyone within,<br \/>\nI will say, \u2018Peace be within you\u2019\u201d(based on Psalm 122:6-8 NIV).<\/p>\n<p>That last prayer, from Psalm 122, is a great one to pray while on a walk around your neighborhood or city. It can also work as a house blessing for any home you enter. And all of those prayers above can help to cultivate and spread the \u201cshalom\u201d of God, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/pray-this-litany-to-find-peace-during-the-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fruit of His Spirit<\/a> (see Galatians 5:22).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among the many prayers in the Bible are numerous prayers for peace.
