Dear Papa God

Dear Papa God,

I need to feel your peace in my life today. You have promised peace, and I have experienced your perfect peace beyond all understanding in times of life that are just plan hard. There is so much going on in this world, in my country, my community; so many prayer requests and needs in my church family; and special needs in my own family.

There are days I can feel so overwhelmed by outside influences. I can’t explain it. It’s like I can feel others hurts and joys. Sometimes, Papa, I’m not sure if it is me or someone else.

You know, I love to prayer walk around my neighborhood to just get out and be in the sunshine and fresh air so that Your Presence may touch each home in some way. Every household has needs. One of their biggest needs: they don’t know You. So, on their behalf, I declare blessing upon each household. I declare Your favor to be lavished upon them, whether in business, finances or relationships. I declare that angels be set upon each property to protect them from evil that surrounds them. I declare Your Truth would be revealed to them. I declare that they would begin to walk in their identity and destiny that you gave them even before they were born. I ask for the Holy Spirit to hover over each one in each household, keeping their minds clear and sensitive to Your Spirit. Lift the veil of unbelief from their hearts. Let the Holy Spirit touch them in such a way that they see Your Truth, Light and can hear that quiet roar in their spirits. Awaken them, Papa, awaken them!

Please continue to touch our lives. Have mercy upon us as we journey through this world. Give us guidance and protection from the evil around us. Allow us to sense Your manifest presence and experience Your Shalom in the midst of it all.

Thank you, loving and merciful God.

In the Savior's name I pray, Amen.
