Prayer for Peace

How should I pray for peace?

Use the prayer above as a starting point, then speak honestly to God about your specific situation. Prayer is a conversation — you don't have to use the "right" words. Scripture like John 14:27 anchors your prayer in God's promises.

What does the Bible say about peace?

John 14:27 says: "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."

How long should I pray?

As long or as short as you need. A one-minute prayer said in faith reaches God as fully as a one-hour one. Many people find it helpful to pray this prayer once, then hold one of the intercessions in mind throughout their day.

Can I share this prayer with someone else?

Yes — please do. Copy it, text it, or share the link. Prayer belongs to everyone.
