Matthew 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Heavenly Father You sent Your Son Jesus to preach peace to those afar off and those who are nearby. Jesus, You have made peace and reconciliation through Your shed blood on the cross, so may we give You all glory and honor due Your great name today and every day. If it is possible Father, may we live peaceable with all men but let us not compromise on the truth of who You are and how You expect us to live. Let us remember to love mercy, do justly and walk humbly with You our great God and King. May we reflect the character of Jesus the Messiah, our Shalom, the Prince of Peace. There is no greater love than to lay down our lives for a friend, so Father pardon our selfish intentions that bringing along with-it strife. Pride puffs us up, but love covers a multitude of sin and with it brings peace to an aching soul. Father, we desire to share the good news with the world where conflict abound, wars rage, and contentions run in families. Bless those whose feet are shod in the gospel, whose mouth proclaim our God reigns. Let not harsh words come from our lips to stir up anger but may soft words turn away wrath. Jesus may You be magnified in us to reveal to those around us we are Yours and You are our hope. May peace abound in our hearts and minds forever. Amen.
