Hourly IDOPP Prayers
2pm est – Pray for all of those who have been impacted by the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as by terrorism and the war on terrorism globally.
1pm est – In this hour, pray for those in the U.S. and around the world suffering from domestic violence and the violence of sexual exploitation.
Noon est – This hour, continue expanding the circle. Pray for peace in communities throughout the U.S. suffering from gun violence.http://bit.ly/bA9l5n
11am est – This hour, take some time and hold your family in prayer. Pray that they may find peace – each as individuals, and with one another.
10am est – Take the peace you find within, and begin to move it beyond you. Look around you and find someone else. Pray that they, too, may find peace.
9am est – Start this IDOPP by seeking your own peace. Begin this morning by praying for peace within. Loving your enemies begins with loving yourself.
