PRAYER FOR PEACE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES

Prayer for Peace in All Circumstances 

Michael Edwards

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Phil 4:11-13 NIV

Dear Father, I love you.

I come seeking your peace that surpasses all understanding. 

I am not asking today for a change in my circumstances to bring temporary peace. 

I realize now that a change in circumstances in this fallen world can never give me real peace. 

The peace it offers is only circumstantial, a false peace that is nowhere to be found when I need it most. 

The enemy cannot offer me your peace, so he offers this cheap imitation that I have sought all my life. 

I am tired of chasing worldly circumstances and trying to establish my own kingdom of peace. 

I now admit that I cannot create my own perfect world in a fallen world.

I now realize that if I trust circumstances for peace, circumstances will steal my peace. 

If I trust Jesus alone for my peace, circumstances can never steal my peace.

I know this world will bring pain, suffering, and death. 

I want to be of value to the kingdom as your ambassador when tragedy strikes the lives of those around me. 

I accept all circumstances, people, place’s, things and situations as they are today in my life and seek your guidance, wisdom, and help. 

I choose to prepare now to walk in your peace in all circumstances as you have asked me.

I will no longer let the enemy use circumstances to steal your peace from me and the power it holds. 

Today and forever, I vow to seek only Jesus peace that overcomes all circumstances. 

The peace my brother Jesus bequeathed to me. 

Father, I believe I have peace with you today and always because of Jesus sacrifice.
