We thank you for sharing this request with us and we rejoice that you closed it in the wonderful name of Jesus, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father and peace with God.
We join with you in seeking the Lord for peace in your home, for He is the God of peace and longs to dwell in the midst of His people. Scripture tells us in Philippians 4:7 that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. And in John 14:27 Jesus says Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, give I to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. We also cling to Isaiah 26:3 which promises You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you. And Colossians 3:15 reminds us to let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful. We encourage you to make your home a place of prayer, thanksgiving, forgiveness and gentle words, turning away from strife and inviting the Lord's presence daily through His Word.
We also lift up your work to the Lord with you. God honors diligent and faithful labor when it is done for His glory. Colossians 3:23 teaches Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. When we commit our work to Him, He establishes our steps, as Proverbs 16:3 says Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. We encourage you to work with integrity, excellence and humility, trusting God for strength and wisdom each day and resting in the knowledge that your ultimate reward comes from Him.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and we thank You for our brother or sister who desires Your peace and Your help. We ask You to pour out Your peace upon this home. Let every anxious thought, every conflict and every burden be calmed by Your presence. Rule in each heart there and let love, patience and understanding abound. Guard this home from division and fill it with Your joy. We also ask for Your hand upon the work that has been entrusted to this dear one. Grant wisdom, skill, favor and endurance to do an excellent job. Help all tasks to be done heartily as unto You and let the fruit of this labor be a testimony to Your goodness. May Your will be done in both home and work, and may You be glorified in all things. In the mighty and merciful name of Jesus we pray, amen.
