A Wish Upon a Candle Seek For Peace

My Father in Heaven
we are your children that you watch over.
In Matthew 7:7; Jesus says,
"Ask, and you shall receive,
seek, and you will find,
knock, and it will be opened".

I come to you to ask,
to give us strength and peace
you can only give.
Our World is in so much chaos, fear, and confusion,
everyone seems to be drowning.
Some are saying,
our President is destroying our America's economy
and some are wanting our president to resign.
Our last president almost started a coup attempt
and divided our country with hate.

COVID-19 pandemic outbreak
has caused so many to lose their jobs;
their employer closed or lost business
due to the pandemic, and so many have died.

Our children have been exposed to gun violence.
There have been twenty-seven school shootings this year.
Where is the modeling at home and our schools?
Then there is the war in Ukraine,
and their surrounding neighbors;
one of the most brutal battles in Europe.

Please, Father, open everyone's heart
and poor your loving heart into their souls.
Let there be peace, love, and faith for all.
Only by your power Lord
Amen

Ask and You Shall Receive' Matthew 7:7

Valsa George June 22, 2022 at 12:54 AM Indeed a beautiful prayer to the Lord of peace and Love..... dear Eve. The unfortunate happenings in your land and all around the world have to be addressed. Human beings cannot find an easy solution to all these harassing problems. Only God can do it. Let us trust in Him and continue to pray

Connie Marcum Wong June 15, 2022 at 1:23 AM The answers lie in prayer and a willingness to think for ourselves and do our own research as the the main stream media cannot be trusted. Your wish is lovely Eve. Blessings xxoo

Panagiota Romios June 14, 2022 at 10:09 AM Look for the good! The news is never good, they live on dissension. And it is constructed to make you feel lost. The good are painted as evil. The evil painted as good. To start channels...11 of them paint the collapse of our society. They never speak of anything good. Stop listening. The move is on th destroy the USA. Take away your rights. Headed for Marxism. As the11 LIE. 3 tell the truth. Panagiota with love, xx Eve Roper June 14, 2022 at 1:41 PM You are so right my friend. Hugs and blessings your way

Karen Jones June 13, 2022 at 11:26 PM Amen how beautiful! Eve Roper June 14, 2022 at 1:42 PM Thank you, Karen, blessings on you

Victor Buhagiar June 13, 2022 at 10:26 PM A beautiful supplication that God does hear almost everyday in some form or another. The problem is that there are more evil persons around. This is a word that deserves punishment. When will w learn. Yet God will take care of His own. Hope you are well. Eve Roper June 14, 2022 at 1:42 PM God sure does listen, blessing my friend
