Arua, Uganda
Most everlasting God and Father of all, I am horrified at violence in so many parts of the world. You are the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, hold back the hands that kill and disturb the peace of your people, turn around the hearts that hate to the hearts that will love and cherish. Grant instead your strong Spirit of Peace - peace that passes our understanding but changes lives, Make your ways known upon the earth oh Lord God, and your saving power among all people. Renew your Church in holiness and help your Church to serve you with joy. Guide the leaders of all nations that justice may prevail throughout their land. Let not the needy be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor be taken away. Make us instruments of your peace and let your glory be over the world. I pray for peace in our communities oh lord Almighty; I commit to you all those who work for peace in the world, and those who work to uphold law and justice. I pray for an end to fear, for comfort and support to those who suffer. I decree our streets and cities to be calm, that people may go out and work to earn their living, I pray this believing and trusting in Jesus’ name Amen.

Our father in heaven, I have come in your presence humbly praying for peace in this world. Father I pray for your protection in different countries. Let this world have peace and freedom in Jesus's name. Lord, I pray for the leadership in different countries, let all the leaders be God fearing and when they lead an exemplary life.
Lord, I pray for all sick people. Let them get healed and I pray that our leaders may build more hospitals and other health centers to improve on our health. I counsel all internal and external countries between the citizens and different countries. Lord, let the countries live in peace and harmony with each other.
Lord, I put all the youths in your hands. Oh Lord let them save you when they are still young and may they lead an exemplary life. Let them not to be taken by worldly desires like partying, wearing short dresses, taking drugs and let school drop outs be reduced among the youth because they are the leaders of tomorrow and they can glorify your name
Lord, supply food and water to the needy and countries which are attacked by famine and drought. I pray for different families in this nation, let them have unity and joy among them. I rebuke all the disagreements between the parents and children. Lord I pray for the businesses of the people in different countries. Let them succeed and employ other people who are jobless so that they improve on their standards of living.
I rebuke all the evil plans in this world and all the devil worshipers. I pray that God can change them and turn them back to the Lord our father. Let the Holy Spirit protect our nation and lead us in whatever we do so that we may not sin but we just glorify your name in Jesus's name. AMEN.

Prayer for peace in the world: Dear kind and precious, loving father. I have said this prayer to kindly request for peace in the world. Due to wars, quarrels and many others, there is no peace in the world.
There are many wars in the world, children suffering, children dying due to the absence of peace. Oh God, please turn the hearts of the bad people from hearts of stone to hearts of flesh. Please make them merciful. Due to mercy in those people's hearts, there may not be orphans, dead people and others in the world. Oh God, also guide us when promoting peace. I also thank you for helping to promote peace in some countries. AMEN.

Oh Lord my father, I come in your presence praying for peace in the whole world. I pray for the leadership in the whole world. I pray for married people in the world. Lord help them in decision making in their families such that they live a settled life. I pray for them to be an example to their children such that their children are proud of them.
I pray for all the youth in the world, those who are in school to remain focused for them to have a better future, those who dropped from school Lord help them to get jobs or go to school, and those who were taken by worldly things like dressing, taking drugs, Lord help them to know and to stop such because those drugs can lead to death.
I pray for all the citizens of each country. Lord help them to be good citizens such that they can elect good leaders who will help them in every challenge.
Lord help our world like in countries like Somalia where there is a drought. Lord help the citizens in that country to be hard working and help them pass through the challenge. And in countries where there is war we seek for freedom in the country, you solve the matter with them. One of the countries is Sudan. Lord help the people who are sick, they're in bed and they can't move, they can't eat. Lord there are times that a doctor says "there is no hope" but you will never say that, the best doctor can heal them in Jesus's name. I pray for people who practice homosexuality and that the Lord show them the way they can pass through. Lord help students get good friends who can help them perform well.
Lord let the world have peace in Jesus's name. Amen.

Kampala, Uganda
Dear God,
My name is Kobusigne Abwooli Mercy Prescilla. From the bottom of my heart, I pray that you will soften the hearts of evil men and women in the world. They kill others just because they want to take their property and this causes suffering and unhappiness. Please God, guide orphans, street children and the homeless. Oh God, loving father, provide money to orphans and the street children. Make those rebels love God as much as they love themselves and there will be peace in the world. In Jesus name I have prayed.
