We join you in praying for the safety of all people and animals around the world. Thank you for acknowledging Jesus this prayer. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God and it is only by his name that we are saved. We are instructed to be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let our requests be made known to God. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 WEB. It would be good to memorize and quote this verse whenever feelings of anxiety arise.
Let us pray together. Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up all people and animals to you, asking for your protection and care. We know that you are a loving and faithful God, and we trust in your promises to be with us always.
We pray for all people and animals who are in harm's way, that you would deliver them from danger and provide for their needs. We ask that you would comfort those who are suffering, and bring healing and restoration to those who are broken. Help all who have bad anxiety to claim Philippians 4:6-7.
We also pray for those who are causing harm, that you would change their hearts and bring them to repentance. We ask that you would bring justice to the oppressed and marginalized, and that you would raise up leaders who will govern with wisdom, righteousness, and integrity.
Thank you, Father, for your unfailing love and faithfulness. We ask all this in the name of your precious Son, Jesus and the powerful Holy Spirit. Amen.
