King of kings, Lord of lords, who is above all in all and through all, You are the Prince of Peace. I come humbly to ask for your peace that passes understanding to flood the nations. I pray for your peace upon Israel and the Middle East nations. I pray for peace among people groups, commonwealths, cities and communities. I pray for peace within families. I pray for those who don’t know your peace to turn to You in repentance and redemption, that they would taste and see that You are good. I ask these things in your name, Jesus, according to the good and perfect will of the Father, who desires that all would come to a saving knowledge of Him. Amen

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Let your hands be strong, you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of the prophets who were present on the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for beast, neither was there any safety from the foe for him who went out or came in, for I set every man against his neighbor. But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days, declares the Lord of hosts. For there shall be a sowing of peace.'” (Zechariah 8: 9-12a ESV)
