When the Earth Shakes, So Do Our Hearts A Birthday Prayer for Peace, Compassion, and Awakening

A Birthday Prayer for Peace, Compassion, and Awakening

We have seen the earth shake,
but today we witness something even heavier —
the shaking of the human heart.

This moment is not just about what’s happening around us, but about what is happening within us.

A Prayer to Be Undone

Break our pride.
Tear down the walls we built out of fear.
Rescue us from the coldness we called strength
and the selfishness we called survival.

We have learned how to endure, but forgotten how to love.
We have learned how to protect ourselves, but forgotten how to protect one another.

Lord, undo what hardened us.

A Child’s Birthday Wish

On this child’s birthday, we lift a simple but holy request:

Bring peace to the hurting.
Calm the storms within and around us.
Restore compassion where anger has taken root.
Let love rise again among us.

May this birthday not just mark another year of life, but become a moment of intercession — a reminder that innocence still believes the world can be healed.

An Awakening, Not a Fear

Revelation was not written to terrify believers,
but to awaken them.

To shake us from apathy.
To call us out of comfort.
To remind us who we belong to.

So wake us, Lord.

A Call Back Home

Call us back to truth.
Call us back to mercy.
Call us back to You.

When the world grows darker,
ignite Your fire in us.

When love fades,
restore it in the remnant who still believe.

Waiting With Faith

We trust You.
We cling to You.
We wait for You.

Not in fear — but in faith.
Not in despair — but in hope.
