Prayers for Peace

As I write this there are several wars going on in our world, and it can be hard to know how to respond in our church worship. Here are some resources you can use to faciliate intercession and lament during times of conflict.

• Prayer For The Middle East. Based on Psalm 120:1, with a PowerPoint. This is adapted from a previous Prayer for Ukraine, which sadly is still relevant.
• Your Spirit Groans For Peace. This song was also written for the Ukraine conflict but can equally be used now. We would change the lyric to "the nations groan".
   

• War Bowl For Peace. A physical idea based on toy soldiers.
• O God Above We Pray For Peace. A song that calls out to God for peace, by Sam, Joel Payne and Matt Weeks.
   

• Hope For The World's Despair. A hymn by Ally Barrett, part of a selection of nine new Hymns of Peace.
• God Sees And Hears. An interactive prayer of lament, bringing our sadness before the God who sees and hears.
