The Biblical Lens

The Bible calls us to be peacemakers, for Jesus said in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” In the Pentecostal tradition, we believe in the "ministry of reconciliation." While political accords are fragile, they represent a human effort to reach for the peace that only the Holy Spirit can fully secure. We pray that wisdom prevails over pride in these high-stakes negotiations.

Calm Next Step

Pray: Set aside time to pray for the leaders of the U.S., Iran, and Pakistan. Ask the Holy Spirit to grant them "wisdom from above" that is first of all pure, then peace-loving (James 3:17).
