Prayer Path: A Prayer for a Troubled World

Scripture
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1

Recognition
Father, the world is trembling with conflict, fear, and suffering. You see every nation in turmoil, every family in danger, every leader making weighty decisions. Nothing escapes Your sight, and nothing is beyond Your reach.

Inquiry
Show me how to pray with clarity.
Where do You want my compassion directed today?
What burdens am I holding that belong in Your hands?

Alignment
Align my heart with Your justice and mercy.
Align my thoughts with Your truth instead of fear.
Align my prayers with Your will for peace, protection, and healing across the earth.

Release
I release the heaviness of global violence.
I release the anxiety stirred by constant news.
I release the pressure to fix what only You can redeem.

Response
Strengthen me to intercede with steady faith.
Teach me to pray for nations, leaders, and innocent lives with wisdom and hope.
Make me a vessel of peace in my home, my community, and my conversations.
Let my life reflect the assurance that You are still working, still reigning, still restoring.
