Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Our Heavenly Father loves each and every one of His children. He desires all to live with Him in eternity, but many reach for false gods instead. He must be weeping as he watches the lack of love his children have for one another. His tears must flow for those who physically and spiritually hunger. The Lord must sob when He sees His children wage war against one another because power and money are their gods.
While we all should pray for the Ukrainian citizens and all those who have family there, we must also pray for an end to the wars that rage in our hearts. If all humanity did so, do you think there would be wars anywhere? God does not cause suffering, man does. If we are not moving towards Love, we are moving toward evil. God calls us. The desire for power and wealth distract us.
Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Ephesians 6:11-12
Lord, it is becoming increasingly clear how much we need you. This global spiritual battle is truly between Light and Darkness, Good and Evil. Let us first look within our own hearts. Where do we wound with verbal daggers and tear down with venomous behaviors in the name of power and control? Jesus, send us a downpour of grace that we may renounce all evil. Humble and guide us toward contrition and reparation, and make us beacons of hope. Loving Father, also hear our prayers for one another’s peace and protection, especially where conflict exists. Increase our faith and ability to love. Protect those who seek to end the battles, such as those in the Armed Forces, those who intercede for others such as humanitarian volunteers, and every soldier of Christ who seeks to bring You back into their heart and their home. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle! Jesus, we trust in You!
What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us.
Romans 8:35, 37
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Peace and hope are meant to be shared. Pass it on!
