Prayer For Conflict At Work
Lord Jesus, those of us in other countries rely on the courage and
determination of the journalists who report on the violence in n to hear the
story of the conflict unfold. We thank you deeply for the bravery they display
in exposing injustice and suffering;
Jesus, bring protection where there is insecurity.
Lord Jesus, thank you that there is a voice in n to tell us about the conflict, and
thank you that the violence has come to international attention; we pray that
those countries with influence (such as n) will take on the responsibility of
trying to shape a possible course to peace with wisdom and compassion;
Jesus, where there seems to be no path to peace, bring creativity and
imagination.
All those present are now invited to offer particular intercessions for the
current situation in n.
Space for group prayers and/or silence
Dear Jesus, we bring these prayers to you in full knowledge of the limitations
of our understanding about the conflict in n and the people involved. We ask
that you would bless us with humility as we continue to seek ways to pray for
situations such as this, which seem so bleak and desperate. Bless us also with
compassion, Lord, and above all the hope that comes from your presence even
in the darkest of times. For if we pray in faith and hope then we know that
through you, all things are possible.
Loving Jesus, we offer you our hearts in hope and praise. Amen.
God of transformation, we thank you that you are our guide on the journey towards
understanding ourselves. And we thank you that this journey does not end with us, but
enables us to engage lovingly and creatively in praying for others. As we continue in
prayer for ?the? conflict ?in n?, grant us the grace to remember what we hold in
common with those involved: the desire for safety, for belonging and for love. Draw our
prayers from the deep well of compassion which you supply, and bless this time shared
together with your transforming power.
In the name of Christ our Reconciler, amen.
Jesus, your command to go and be reconciled is difficult. I ask for you to both strengthen me with your might and soften my heart to hear from your Spirit. Amen.
Gracious God, thank you for the gift of peace I have with you through Christ. Through you may my relationships become more peaceful and healthy. As a recipient of your peace, I have been called to be a peacemaker. Help me to embrace this calling. Give me eyes to see, not only obvious conflict, but also that which lies beneath the surface. May I use every opportunity you put before me to work for genuine peace. Amen.Gracious God, thank you for the gift of peace I have with you through Christ.

Heavenly Father, who we love, I lift Your name over all the earth. Father, lately I have found myself in a place that I do not want to be in. Anger, hatred and bitterness is causing me to lash out at the people around me and especially at my dear loved ones.
I am on edge at every point, the slightest gesture upsets me. I cannot continue on like this, Oh Father, please hear my cry.

Thank you that you are with me. Thank you that your Holy Spirit is working in my life to bring Kingdom blessings to the earth.

Come Lord, use me to bring peace, blessing and reconciliation in my workplace.
