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 6/13/2022 Ask and You Shall Receive' Matthew 7:7 Leviticus 19:18 Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

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

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

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.
