June 10 prayer for neighbors

Peace House part 9 – How can a home bring peace to a neighborhood? Praying for others.

What do you see every week that will last forever? People. God loves us. God wants to hear from us. God gives us purpose. We are called to pray for others. Let us join with Jesus in praying for others, according to God’s will and desire, that none should perish. Let us pray for people who do not yet know Jesus as Savior. Let us pray for the peace of our neighbors and our neighborhood. Let us pray for their wellbeing and how we may be involved in bringing peace.
