00:31 Harmony and unity, these are priceless attributes.
00:35 In John 14:27, Jesus says,
00:38 "Peace I leave with you.
00:40 My peace I give to you,
00:41 not as the world gives, do I give to you.
00:44 Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
00:48 We see that going on in the world today.
00:50 People's hearts are troubled.
00:52 They're fearful.
00:53 Even in good times,
00:55 people don't know what's going to happen.
00:56 And in bad times, they're totally stressed out.
01:00 They're going from day to day
01:01 without having answers to basic questions like
01:04 what's in the future for me, what's going to happen to me.
01:07 What's happening in my world,
01:10 but there are answers
01:11 and there is peace in the midst of all the turmoil.
01:15 You can have peace if you reach out to Jesus
01:18 and give your life to Him.
01:20 He will give you peace in the midst of your storm.
01:23 How does that work?
01:25 He simply says He gives us His peace.
01:28 The verse that we read today
01:30 means that it's not just a band-aid peace
01:33 like the world gives,
01:34 Christ's peace is that anchoring steady peace
01:37 that only He can give,
01:39 the kind that can't be explained.
01:53 Peace, perfect peace
01:57 In this dark world of sin
02:03 The blood of Jesus
02:07 Whispers peace
02:11 Within Peace,
02:15 Perfect peace
02:18 By thronging duties pressed
02:23 To do the will of Jesus
02:29 This is rest
02:35 Our Father in heaven,
02:37 we pause for a moment
02:38 to ask You to come into our lives,
02:41 to guide and comfort us, to bring peace into our lives.
02:46 This world and our society seem to be separating us
02:50 from truth and moral standards we know to be right.
02:54 Stand beside us, Lord,
02:56 that we may have the strength to go forward
02:58 and praise you and to enjoy the peace
03:01 you have offered to all who follow you.
03:05 We are looking forward so much to being with you
03:07 for eternity and sitting at Your feet,
03:10 listening to your loving message of peace everlasting
03:14 where there will be no more sickness,
03:17 dying, wars and calamities of all kinds.
03:22 Please come soon, Lord.
03:24 We ask You all these things in Your name.
03:27 Amen.
03:34 Dear Father in heaven,
03:35 thank You so much for the privilege
03:37 that we are able to come to You in prayer.
03:39 Thank You for the assurance
03:41 that when I'm afraid or worried,
03:43 I can come to You and You will give me peace.
03:47 Lord, I ask that others may have Your peace,
03:50 Your peace that passes all understanding.
03:53 Be with those who face trials
03:56 and those who carry burdens,
03:58 help them know that You are near to them.
04:00 And that You love them.
04:01 Be with those who are afraid
04:03 and help them to put their whole trust in You.
04:06 Comfort those who are hurting
04:08 and may Your peace abide in their hearts
04:09 and minds forever.
04:11 In Jesus' name I pray.
04:12 Amen.
04:19 Dear heavenly Father, I come to You, Lord,
04:22 to ask for peace,
04:25 not the peace that the world give,
04:27 but the peace that the Bible said,
04:28 You will give us.
04:30 I pray, Lord, that all of us,
04:34 despite the time that we're living
04:36 and the things that we see happening around us,
04:40 that You could give us peace in our heart,
04:43 that we can always try to look for that peace
04:47 with our neighbors, with our family,
04:50 with people in the world.
04:52 Not only that we can have the peace,
04:54 but we can share it with others
04:56 and give them the opportunity,
04:58 Lord, to understand that only You can give us the real peace.
05:03 Thank You for that piece that You can give us.
05:05 Lord, I pray in Jesus' name.
05:08 Amen.
05:09 Peace, perfect peace
05:14 With loved ones far away
05:20 In Jesus' keeping
05:24 We are safe, and are they
05:31 Peace, perfect peace
05:35 Our future all unknown
05:40 Jesus we know
05:44 And You are on
05:48 The throne
05:52 Our Father, which art in heaven
05:54 as we come to You in prayer today,
05:56 we're very aware of the things that are going on in the world.
05:58 Lord, we needs peace.
06:00 You promise You'd give us peace that passes all understanding.
06:04 We know that you are peace.
06:05 And so I just pray that each individual today,
06:08 everyone living in the world today
06:09 will turn to you the author,
06:11 finisher of our faith.
06:13 And that's certainly the author of our peace.
06:15 Then we pray that the enemy
06:16 will not be able to take that peace.
06:18 And we just ask in special way Your Holy Spirit will come
06:20 into each heart in each life.
06:22 And may we look to Jesus today not the things
06:24 that are going on in the world because we serve a God
06:26 that sets upon the throne that rules the universe
06:29 has promised, I will come again.
06:31 Thank You, Lord, for hearing. Thank You for answering prayer.
06:34 Thank You that we can call upon You in our time of need.
06:36 You said You would be there.
06:37 You would hear, and you would answer our prayer,
06:38 in Jesus' name we pray and for His sake.
06:41 Amen.
06:47 Our loving heavenly Father,
06:48 We thank You for Your gift of peace.
06:51 When things are going crazy in the world,
06:54 things are going crazy in our homes,
06:56 with our neighbors, in our cities and our towns,
06:59 our coworkers, we need peace.
07:03 And sometimes peace is hard to come by.
07:06 And, Lord, we know that we can always go to You
07:09 and ask for peace and You will give it to us.
07:12 So, Lord, in this time of challenge,
07:14 when we need peace, we ask for peace from You.
07:19 We ask for You to grant our prayers
07:21 and give us peace in Jesus' name.
07:24 Amen.
07:27 2 Thessalonians 3:16 says,
07:32 "Now may the Lord of peace Himself
07:34 give you peace at all times.
07:36 And in every way the Lord be with all of you."
07:42 Father, there's nothing more peaceful
07:44 that I can think of than knowing
07:47 that You are with me right in the midst
07:49 of the crazy world that I live in.
07:54 You are with me.
07:55 So thank You.
07:56 In Psalm 4:6 rather for, verse 8.
08:01 Psalm 4:8 says, "In peace, I will lie down and sleep,
08:05 for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety."
08:11 Lord, I wanna think of that verse
08:13 as I'm struggling sometimes to fall asleep.
08:19 In peace, I will lie down and sleep,
08:22 for you alone.
08:23 Lord, make me dwell in safety.
08:26 Thank you for that.
08:28 Colossians 3:13,
08:30 "Bear with each other and forgive one another.
08:33 If any of you has a grievance against someone,
08:37 forgive as the Lord forgave you."
08:40 Well, there's a key for peace to forgive.
08:48 And a scripture I love so much,
08:50 Isaiah, 26:3.
08:54 "You will keep in perfect peace
08:56 those whose minds are steadfast
08:59 stayed upon you because they trust in You."
09:05 Father, thank You for that trust
09:08 that I have in You.
09:11 Thank You that You give me that peace of mind.
09:18 Lord, I wanna pray for this one who has said,
09:26 they need deliverance from a bad habit and addiction.
09:32 Pray that I may in Christ's strength
09:34 gained the victory.
09:35 Lord, it is only in your strength
09:37 that we have the victory.
09:40 Someone says, I need God's guidance
09:42 and help in my life.
09:45 Oh God, we all need that guidance and help.
09:51 Someone says, I'm asking for prayers
09:52 on behalf of my son
09:54 who's suffering from schizophrenia.
09:58 And as a result, he smokes up to a box of cigarettes a day.
10:02 Oh, Father, I ask in Jesus' name
10:04 that You would grant sound mind to this child,
10:11 that You will take away
10:16 this problem in his mind that his addiction would
10:21 go away as well.
10:25 One says, I pray for victory at my job.
10:27 I pray for a quiet hour every morning
10:30 to be sought in the early morning.
10:32 I need to study the Bible more
10:33 and not to be worried about my job.
10:36 Please pray that I will be an efficient worker.
10:42 Lord, I ask that You will help us all
10:45 to be victorious in our work.
10:49 Thank You for work.
10:50 Thank You for the jobs that we have that
10:55 help us to make a living and give us an opportunity
10:58 to share with others, our work, our coworkers.
11:03 Thank you.
11:04 So I pray in Jesus' name
11:05 that You will meet the request of this one.
11:10 And, Lord, there's one who has a daughter of a friend
11:13 in her 50s who has cancer.
11:15 It doesn't look good.
11:18 Lord, I lift her up.
11:20 I just ask in Jesus' name for anyone who is watching,
11:24 who is battling cancer,
11:28 diseases that seem unhealable,
11:35 Lord, we trust that You are able to heal.
11:43 Father God,
11:48 may Your peace reign over those who are watching,
11:51 even in the midst of their struggles
11:53 and in the midst of their diseases.
12:01 God give them Your overwhelming peace.
12:09 Thank You for that peace.
12:14 And I want to remind you not to take peace for granted.
12:21 But practice peace in your life.
12:28 Practice peace in your relationships.
12:33 When others see you living at peace,
12:37 it's the perfect witness of Christ in your life.
12:42 And it's an open door to share Christ with others.
12:48 So I pray that the peace of Christ
12:50 will richly dwell in you.
12:59 Peace, peace
13:03 Wonderful peace
13:06 Coming down
13:09 From the Father Above
13:16 Sweep over
13:20 By spirit for ever
