Heavenly Father,
thank You that we have peace with God
by grace through faith in Christ’s finished work
and thank You that in Him
we have the peace of God
to guard our hearts and minds
in the midst of a perverse
and crooked generation.
Thank You that we have Your peace
reigning in our hearts
and we pray that we may be faithful
witnesses to the truth
of the glorious gospel of Christ –
knowing that the Christian life
is not easy but joy comes in the morning,
in Jesus name we pray,
AMEN

and follow You in humble obedience.
We pray that we may willingly submit

by His death into the likeness of Christ,
to Your praise and glory.
This we pray in Jesus name,
