prayer1223

Father, as this year draws to a close and ethnic and religious

emotions are stirred around the world, please bless us with peace.

Give us a deep sense of your love and presence. Shepherd us in your

grace. At the same time, rekindle in our hearts your desire to

bring all people together in peace through salvation in Jesus.

Please bless your children throughout the world who are lovingly

sharing your gospel to a culture other than their own. Bless them

as they are apart from their families. Most of all, bless them with

the joy of their desire -- using them to lead someone to salvation

during this holiday season. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
