Acknowledge
Lord, we come before Thee mindful that nations are trembling and borders are shaking. Thou seest the conflict, the fear, the pride, and the suffering on every side. Nothing is hidden from Thine eyes, for “the eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good” (Proverbs 15:3).

Align
We align our hearts with Thy Word, not the noise of this world. Thou hast said, “He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth” (Psalm 46:9), and “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9). Bring our thoughts, emotions, and discernment under Thy rule, that we may stand in truth, not fear; in wisdom, not confusion; in faith, not turmoil.

Ask
Father, we ask Thee to stretch forth Thy hand in this hour:

– Still the hands of those who seek escalation.
– Protect the innocent who have no power and no voice.
– Expose hidden motives, lies, and manipulations on every side.
– Give leaders clarity instead of pride, wisdom instead of wrath.
– Place a hedge of restraint where violence intends to advance.
– Strengthen believers in both nations to shine as lights in darkness.
– Let truth prevail over fear, and righteousness over rage.

Guard our own hearts, Lord. Keep us watchful but not anxious, discerning but not hardened, prayerful but not shaken.

Anchor
We anchor ourselves in Thy unchanging Word:

“The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.”
— Psalm 29:10–11 (KJV)

Thou art still King. Thou art still in control. Thou settest the bounds of nations and the limits of evil. We rest in Thee.
