Day 21 – Prayer Focus – “Government of Peace”

Posted on Jan 21, 2017 in General |

Today is the day after the Inauguration and there are marches and protests scheduled all across our nation. People are going into the streets to demonstrate their beliefs and views. Unfortunately many of these demonstrations are not peaceful but riotous and violent. Often people are injured and property is damaged and the pain and frustration they feel is spread to others like an aggressive cancer. Their destructive behavior is demonically inspired from the Kingdom of Darkness. Satan came to kill, steal and destroy. Jesus came to give us life. John 10:10 – “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Isaiah 9:7 – “Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end…”

We focus our prayers and petitions to our God of Peace. We pray for God’s Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth today as it is in heaven. We thank God that we are citizens of His government of peace. We pray for the peace of God that passes all understanding to guard our hearts and our minds.

There are two areas of our lives that the peace of God will protect, they are our hearts and minds. The heart and mind is about 18 inches apart. If one is troubled it affects the other. I pray that the peace of God, that passes all of your human reasoning, will guard you and protect you today!

Philippians 4:5-7 – “Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
