Peace can feel far away. Worry wakes us at night, arguments fill our homes and the news is full of conflict. Yet Jesus promised a peace that the world cannot give and cannot take away.
Every prayer for peace on this page is written for a specific need: peace of mind, peace in your heart, peace in your home, peace in relationships and peace in the world. Pray slowly, and let God quiet what is loud inside you.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” — John 14:27 (KJV)
