Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Gospel of John
(New Testament)
John 18
Peters First Denial
15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priests courtyard, 16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
17 You arent one of this mans disciples too, are you? she asked Peter.
He replied, I am not.
18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.
(End of Scripture Passage)
John relates this tragic incident (Peter's threefold Denial) with agonizing detail.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Our Lord and Heavenly Father
You Alone Are Holy and Sanctified beyond Comprehension.
Like the People of Israel in Ancient Times,
We Are Given a Choice
A Decision that Will Alter Our Lives Forever
Choosing to Serve You is Not Always Easy,
But it Is Always the RIGHT Decision to Make.
The World and its idols are so tempting,
And it always seems easier to 'go with the flow",
But in the end, that choice leads to death.
Give Us Courage and A Right Spirit Within,
That We Serve You Out Of Love,
Because You First loved Us!
We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According to Your Will and Promise.
We Pray For the People and Leaders of Israel,
that They Will Look to You for the Protection
and Prosperity of their Nation.
We Also Pray For Revival in our own Beloved USA.
We Pray For The Leaders of Our Nation,
May They Be Inspired and Led By You,
And Please Guide Them in All Things.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
Hallelujah and Amen

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Fear is a strange thing. On the one hand, fear will alert our bodies to danger, sending out powerful hormones that strengthen our defenses and allow us to do great feats of strength and courage to defend our lives. But, fear can also paralyze a person, so that they are unable to function at all. Men and women become heroes when they act IN SPITE of their fear, not because they have no fear in the first place. Bravado, braggadocio, and foolhardiness are NOT "Courage" because no fear is involved. It take the "Brave" to say, "I may lose my life over this, but I must do what is the right thing to do."
Then there are people who are afraid, not of losing their life, but of losing power, prestige, money, or even merely popularity. These people will sacrifice their principles, lie, cheat, or even betray one another just to hang on to what is worthless in the first place. And, of course, when their cowardice is exposed, they lose the power, prestige, money, and popularity that they endeavored to save with their perfidy!
Peter had started down this road earlier in the Gospel of John. His brashness and bravura had gotten him in trouble with The Master before, when he said, "I will follow you to the death!". Throughout all four Gospels we have read about Peter blurting out the wrong thing, but he was usually motivated by devotion rather than fear. Now we see him being afraid to stand by Jesus even among the servants, who would have no power over him anyway.
You may wonder, "Why would Jesus allow Peter to go through this...and then have it recorded in the Gospels to shame him for all time? Couldn't He have just given Peter REAL courage, (not that of cutting off some poor servant's ear!), to inspire us for all these centuries? After all, Peter was a de-facto leader of the Apostles. Why couldn't he have been a HERO?"
John tells us in the course of his Gospel that there are many more things that went on that even a whole library of books could not contain them. We have witnessed in the last few weeks how many people who have been elected as our leaders have sacrificed Truth, Justice, and Common Sense because they were afraid of losing power, prestige, money, and mere popularity.
Some of their "performances" have been embarrassing and cringe-worthy. Others have surprised us, stepped up to the plate, and risked losing their positions by taking the high road. Some have paid for this already with violence and slander aimed at them and their families. And, in the end, Truth has emerged victorious.
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

I sympathize with Peter. Understand his fear. Which is why it’s recorded.
Joining in prayer, left that other site, for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our beloved America as the mid-terms approach.
