WHERE THE LEAVES DANCE
Where the wind blows. Where the tree yields. Where the Spirit lives.

Pray for peace. Ask God to ease your anxieties and worries. Ask Him to calm your heart. Then, pray for your spouse and children, lifting them up earnestly before the Creator. 

Pray for peace to surround your friends—that their countenance would be brighter and not distraught. Pray for lasting peace in your church and the churches within your county. 

Ask God, fervently, to blanket your town with peace. Make petitions known to our Heavenly Father. Enter into His presence. He's listening. Pour out your heart.

Remember the state you live in. Ask peace to be present in discussions and decisions. Pray for our nation. Plead for peace. We don't want to be one of the nations described in Revelation 19:15 where Christ returns on a white horse and strikes down nations with a sharp sword. We don't want to be the nations described in Psalm 2 who took a stand against God. Those verses tell us God laughed at them.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those who love you be secure."
Psalm 122:6

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:9

Jesus, the Son of God, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) gives peace (John 14:27), the third fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Praying Peacemakers will sit by the river described in Revelation 22. They will sit under the yielding tree of life. The leaves of that tree are for the healing of nations. No longer will there be any curse. Does prayer accomplish much? OH, YES! If you want to be where the leaves dance, pray.

Blessings from my neck of the woods to yours.
Blaze a trail of Hope!
