God of peace -
How do we stand firm as we struggle together in the work of the gospel?
We always rejoice in You and know that You are near.
We allow our gentleness to be known to all, and with thankful hearts, we offer prayers and supplications in everything.
We think about whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, pleasing, and commendable.
We keep on doing the things we have learned, received, heard, and seen from our spiritual forebears.
Free our minds from worry as Your peace - a peace that surpasses all understanding - guards our hearts and our minds.
May we be of the same mind in Christ Jesus, and may we stand firm together as beloved brothers and sisters - trusting that You are with us.
Amen.
