John 14:27 — “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Father, in this time of heightened tensions and uncertainty, we ask for Your peace to blanket our nation. Let Your presence calm anxious hearts and soothe fears. We pray that any attempts to incite violence or disrupt peace would be thwarted. May Your peace flow through our streets, our communities, and our government buildings. Help us, as Your people, to be peacemakers, demonstrating love and grace to those around us. Let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, guarding us from fear and unrest. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
