Praying for Peace

There’s always something trying to divide us. Something pushing us to distinguish our lives as unique from others.So we pursue individualism.And over time, we learn to frown upon anything that hinders that specific expression. But as much as we try to present ourselves as unique exceptions, there’s one commonality that we cannot escape:We all need God.This truth is constantly being revealed to us — not just in the grand opportunity of our ambitious goals, but also in the practical worries of our fragile lives.Some mountains are too high to climb.Some burdens are too heavy to carry.And some battles are simply too hard for us to fight.We need help.We need more than what we can provide for ourselves, and that which goes beyond what we can expect from each other. And though the challenges we face may be diverse, we can find unity in remembering that all of our help comes from the Lord.
