Praying for Peace: Trusting God Amid Conflict & Loss

Praying for Peace in a Broken World

When war and sorrow weigh heavy on our hearts, Isaiah 26:3 reminds us that true peace comes from trusting God. As violence shakes the Land of the Bible, Pilgrim Prayers invites you to begin with prayer. Submit your prayer for peace, healing, and justice, and we’ll place it by hand at Jerusalem’s sacred sites, trusting God to move.

In every generation, there are moments that shake us. Images of war. Stories of injustice. The ache of loss. And though the headlines may change, the cry remains the same: Lord, let there be peace.

Today, as violence once again touches the Land of the Bible, our hearts are heavy. From Jerusalem to Gaza, from border towns to city centers, fear and sorrow are real. But so is our hope. The Bible calls us not to despair, but to pray-to stand in the gap, lifting up the brokenness of this world to the God who hears.

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.”
— Isaiah 26:3

This is not passive peace. It is not blind optimism. It is trust. And that trust compels us to action, not political, but spiritual.

We believe in the power of prayer. We believe God still responds. And we believe that praying from Jerusalem, where so much of the biblical story unfolded, adds a layer of resonance and connection that reminds us: this is not far away. It is personal. It is sacred.

If your heart is burdened by the conflict in the Middle East-if you feel called to do something but aren’t sure where to begin-begin with prayer.

Let us place your prayer for peace, healing, and justice in Jerusalem, by hand, at one of the city’s sacred sites. Join believers around the world in crying out not just for calm, but for God’s presence to transform what seems impossible.
