A Prayer for Peace and Justice Amid Global Turmoil 🙏

O Lord our God, whose eyes behold both the righteous and the wicked, we lift up the concerns of the world—especially those enveloped in fear, secrecy, and conflict.

"The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands."
—Psalm 9:16, KJV

Heavenly Father, You see the suffering of the oppressed, the manipulation of truth, and the restless striving of nations. We lift North Korea into Your holy presence—its leaders, its people, its hidden church, and all who suffer under the burden of tyranny and secrecy. May Your Spirit move in places where no human hand can reach.

We entreat the intercession of Saint Joseph, protector of families and silent strength of faith. Guard those who risk their lives to share hope and the Word. Cover them with Your shield of grace.

Let Saint Michael the Archangel, Heaven’s defender, war against powers and principalities unseen. Restrain the hand of violence and pierce through lies with the sword of truth.

With the holy boldness of Saint Peter, we declare Jesus Christ as Lord over every nation:
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
—Acts 4:12, KJV

Father, unravel schemes of deception. Bring down the proud and raise up the humble. Let mercy flow like a river, and may truth and righteousness kiss upon the land.

We join hands in spirit with the faithful throughout the earth, praying as one Body in Christ, asking not according to our will, but Thine alone. As it is written:
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray… then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
—2 Chronicles 7:14, KJV

✨In the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, we pray—Amen.
