Indeed, this is perhaps the most consoling thought in Christian faith: that despite whatever circumstances in which we find ourselves, Jesus Christ is God’s eternal sign that divine peace is always with us and for us. Pray that the peace of God will be felt in your mind, in your community, and in the world, and pray that you may be a part of God's plan of peace for all. Pray for the Amity Foundation in China, giving thanks for the work they do to further God’s mission in the world.
