“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Peace is one of God’s greatest gifts to man. In Christ, we can experience peace with God and with one another. The Bible instructs us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem- let us continue to pray fervently for peace there and in all of Israel. Those blessed to live in countries where peace, stability, and safety are the norm should thank God for this blessing.

Lord, we ask you to extend Your peace and protection to our fellow believers who live in less secure regions, and grant them Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Amen
