Today's daily devotion

Pray for Peace

The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.—Isaiah 32:17 (NIV)

Do you pray for world peace? Sometimes we are so caught up in our own personal needs that we forget to put the power of prayer behind something as large as peace on Earth. Today, focus all your thoughts on the people of the world; ask God to give leaders the insight to obtain justice for all. Teach us all humility and responsibility to care for those in need so that the world may be a safe home for everyone.

Prince of Peace, may the oppressed and needy experience justice, equality and a world without hunger and poverty.
