Lord’s Day, Vol. 6 No. 25
(1) Pray for Peace
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth.(Psalm 46:9)
The military armaments in which the nations find their pride are a terrible sight! The evil passions that may at any moment bring on war are a terrible thought! The suffering and desolation that come from war are a sad prospect!
1 Timothy 2:1-3 (KJV) “1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour”. God can, in answer to the prayer of His people, give peace. Let us pray for it for the rule of righteousness.
When you pray, pray with understanding. “I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with understanding also” (1 Corinthians 14:15).
We need to pray in the Spirit if we are to take hold of God in faith and power. We need to pray with understanding if we are really to enter deeply into the needs we bring before Him. Be careful to understand the nature, the extent, the urgency of the request. Comprehend the certainty of God’s promise as revealed in His Word. Let the mind affect the heart. Pray with understanding and in the Spirit.

We have come in particular to closely observe the recent summit of Trump-Kim in Sentosa, Singapore. It was for the peace in the Korean Peninsula. It was for the peace in this region. May we bear this burden of prayer for God’s honour and glory that His will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Amen.
