Prayer of Peace by Saint Francis
-Pray this prayer of peace by St. Francis
Lord make Me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness joy.
O Divine Master (Jesus) grant that I may
Not so much seek to be consoled as to console
To be understood, as to understand.
To be loved. as to love
For it's in giving that we receive
And it's in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it's in dying that we are born...
To eternal life.
Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Closing Notes
We trust that these prayers for peace have been a blessing to you and that you take at least one prayer for peace, take it as a daily prayer or morning prayer, meditate on the promises contained in it, and say it with confidence until your peace is fully instated by the Lord. It is our prayer that your mind will be at peace and that The Lord will fill your mind and life with conviction and the reassurance that He will never leave you or forsake you. May your mind be at peace in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen!
You can also use these to make intercessory prayer on behalf of your family, friends, coworkers or anyone who may be experiencing a hard time or difficulty or someone who is in need of peace. To pray for them, just change the object in the prayer from me/my to him/her, or the person's name, etc. Each of these prayers can be used powerfully as an intercessory prayer on behalf of someone.
