Prayer to Overcome Violence


Scripture

 “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you”
James 4:7


Devotion

If we trust in the Lord and submit completely to Him, He will heal all the hurts which we carry and He will strengthen us to fight our persecutors. He will give us hope and peace of mind when the world we live in seem to be against us. Its only by His might that we can concur and overcome all the violence and live in peace and no fear. Let us free ourselves from the forces of the devil by always surrendering our lives to the Lord.


Prayer

Heavenly Father we humble ourselves before you and ask that you set us free from the acts of violence. We cry out Lord knowing that you defend those who are persecuted and we trust that you will take us in your arms and shield us from the enemy. Thank you Lord that nothing is too hard for you.

Father, thank you that you have sent your Holy Spirit to be our comforter and helper in difficult times, and we praise your name that Lord you will give us the strength to rise above the painful situation caused by violence in our families and communities.

Dear Lord we glorify your holy name for we know that in the powerful name of Jesus we can resist the devil and he will flee from us. Thank you Lord that you can hear our prayers in the name of Jesus. Amen.
