To pray for peace, I begin with me
How do we pray for peace? Is prayer even practical in a world where it can seem as though peace is the exception, not the rule?
Praying for peace doesn’t mean asking for a specific result. And it’s never an I win / you lose sort of thing. Praying for peace means starting with God and our willingness to love God and our neighbor. As a result we know and feel that God’s will for everyone is good.
The one prayer Christ Jesus taught his followers, known as the Lord’s Prayer, includes the line, “Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). And God’s will is always “on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14).
