fjn prayer of the month
Dear Lord,
We bless you for our lives, we give you praise for your abundant mercy and grace we receive. We thank you for your faithfulness even though we are not faithful to you. Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us all around peace in our minds, bodies, souls, and spirits. We want you to heal and remove everything that is causing stress, grief, and sorrow in our lives.
Please guide our paths and make our enemies be at peace with us. Let your peace reign in our families, at our places of work, business areas and everything we lay our hands on. Let your angels of peace go ahead of us when we go out and stay by our side when we return.
Thank you that you have set us free and that you are bigger than anything we face in this life. We lay our burdens before you, every single one, for we know they are much safer in your hands than ours.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
