Jesus’ Peace Ruling in Our Hearts

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. Col. 3:15

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thess. 3:16 (NLT)

Lord Jesus, we are thankful there’s no part of our being or story, no sphere of life or place in the universe, outside your interest and care. You are Creator and Sustainer, Redeemer and Restorer, King and Shepherd.

Today, we come to you as the Lord of Peace. Though you don’t always eliminate our storms, we’ll never experience a Christ-absent storm, heartache, or pandemic. Hear our prayers, grant us grace, and increase our peace.

We pray for our hearts—new by the Gospel, still in need of constant renewal. Jesus, you have won and washed our hearts. You indwell us, and one Day we will dwell with you in perfect wholeness. Until then, we are weaker than we wish, plagued with unbelief and insecurities, and are not as free and joyful as you intend. Jesus, keep us thirsty for you, humble before you, and satisfied in you. Be our peace, wisdom, and hope.

We pray for peace as we move forward into this season re-shaped by the pandemic. Though we have more time at home, that doesn’t mean it’s been piece-of-cake easy. Jesus, grant us Gospel-eyes to see in our family members. Grant us tons of grace, quicker repentances, and copious amounts of kindness. We may never have this much time together again to share our stories and hearts.

Lastly, Jesus, as your peace rules in our hearts, free us to trust you with our vocations and education, our health and finances. This virus has an expiration date; but your love, grace, and kingdom are eternal. So very Amen we pray, in your all-beautiful and all-grace-full name.
