Today's (December 12) entry from Stephanie Sample and her "365 Days of Prayer for Women":

PEACE ON EARTH

" Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace
among those with whom he is pleased."

~ LUKE 2:14 ESV

"Lord, don't you get tired of your children fighting all the time? I don't understand this world, who the people are who love to stir up trouble. Harmony is so much better, and peace------I can only imagine a world where everyone gets along. And how I love imaging it! It reminds me of what I've read of heaven, where even the lion and the lamb are friends. Just to think about walking down any street in the world on any night of the year with nothing to fear takes my breath away. I pray for peace on this earth, Father, I honestly can't wait."

"Can we take courage today, knowing that eventually there will be peace on earth?"
