Blessed are the peacemakers

God, please help me to live at peace with others. Even when people hurt, hated, and mocked You—You still showed them love, mercy, and peace. And You invite us to experience and share Your perfect peace. So please transform the ways I think and act. Make me eager to spread peace instead of fear, and love instead of hate. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A pure heart

God, I want to have a pure heart. Please reveal to me the areas of my heart that are not in line with Your Word. Help me to let go of bitterness, disappointment, and hurt I am holding onto. I surrender my whole heart to You—please change me for the better. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A merciful heart

God, Your nature is to offer mercy. When people meet me, I want them to know You live in me. Give me opportunities to demonstrate Your mercy to those around me. As my faith grows, please give me a deeper ability to offer mercy to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

What do you crave

God, You put the thirst and hunger for righteousness in my heart, and You alone can satisfy it. Please help me to hold onto the hope that You offer, and to show Your love to everyone. Give me the patience to endure an imperfect world as I wait for You to come back and make all things right. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Blessed are the meek

God, thank You for welcoming me into Your kingdom. Thank You for accepting me, even though I don't have it all together. Your power is sufficient for my needs, so help me lean on Your strength today. Please help me walk gently and humbly with those around me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

For those who mourn

God, You see those who mourn, and You promise to comfort them. Please bring healing to our hearts when we grieve. Give hope to those feeling hopeless, and strength to anyone feeling overwhelmed. Show us how close You are in the midst of our mourning. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
