Peace is Not successful because man's long history proves man can't direct his step - Jeremiah 10:23
That is why God will have Jesus, as Prince of Peace, to step in - Rev. 19:14-16; Isaiah 11:3-4.
We want to keep awake! as Jesus said because as 1st Thess. 5:2-3 informs us the time is coming when the 'powers that be' will be saying, "Peace and Security...." but that will only prove to be the precursor to the coming great tribulation of Rev. 7:14 before Jesus who is the one who will usher in global Peace on Earth among persons of goodwill.
So there is no point in praying for peace?
Is there any point in praying for Jesus to come?
Is there any point in praying for starving children?
It's a good sentiment, well-expressed. Kind of an elaboration on "BE the change that...."
Or, as attributed to Francis of Assisi', "preach the gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words".
And "I'd rather see a sermon than hear one." (Don't know who said it originally, but a former SDA coworker who visited young men in prison liked that one.)

I'm a big Francis of Assisi fan. He talked to birds and wrote poems to the sun and moon and winds. If I was around 800 years ago, I would've wanted to hang out with him.

That's the statue I took from the display area to buy my mother-in-law last mothers day. I really liked. Maybe I should read up on the guy.

As a child, he was my "patron saint" when I got confirmed. His life story is sad he was in terrible pain and ill for much of it. He died in his early 40's, I believe.

Although Not Clara, the ^ above ^ post reminds me of the world wars.
In the realm of Christendom false clergy prayed for the victory even though it meant so-called Christians killing each other.
So-called Christians of one country killing so-called Christians of another country, and justifying that by saying whoever is the victor is the one whose prayers were answered by God.
Even today false clergy use the pulpit as a recruiting station so parents will sacrifice their young on the Altar of War as it that is the same thing a the Altar of God.
On the other hand, Jesus and his 1st-century followers remained ' neutral ' in world affairs.
They did Not even become involved in the issues of the day between the Jews and Romans.

I think you've come to the wrong poster if you're looking for answers to questions about religious doctrine, phetaroi.
I'm not your answer. There are a lot of confusing things about Christianity, and I don't have all the answers - I'm just a strong believer in the power of prayer.
