Sunday will be the second Sunday in Advent. The candle is a candle of peace.
I forgot that I had all these photos – this Advent wreath is from Thorngrove Christian Church
A Prayer for Peace
Grant Your Peace Lord, I pray, upon those in the midst of conflict this Advent season; and indeed, in all seasons. But, there’s just something about the “Christmas” season that makes conflict more – conflicting during this time of the year.
I pray for those in genuine conflict – in battles, and in wars, with actual bullets and all too real blood-letting. I pray “Peace” Lord, knowing, that until You come again – there will be no real peace for this kind of war. So, until then, I pray “safety” instead…
I pray for those in figurative conflict – in battles for their minds and souls. I pray for those who know that “something” ought to be different. But what? And how? I pray “Peace” Lord, knowing, that “this” battle can be won, that guilt and “chains” can be removed. That all that is needed is for the word to be spread. Give me the words, Lord…
I pray for those in spiritual conflict – in battles where the war has already been won, and the prisoners set free, and all that is wanting is for the victory to be claimed…. I pray “Peace” Lord, knowing that they (we) just (sometimes) don’t realize it. Give them (us) Grace, Lord to see the Victory.
I pray “Peace” Lord at this Advent season – and all seasons of the year.
