Pray with the global church

God of Peace, we lift up the streets of the Rainbow District in Los Angeles, where tension and misunderstanding have led to conflict. You have called us to be peacemakers, and we ask that You would calm the hearts of all who are divided. Protect those who seek to share Your Word and soften the hearts of those who oppose them. Reveal Jesus to the pedestrians and patrons of this district, and let His love be known in places of hostility. Establish Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let it guard hearts and minds. May Your light shine in every corner of this city, drawing all people to the truth of Your grace and mercy. In the name of Jesus, the Light of the World, we pray. Amen.
