Sadly, war is a fact of life in a fallen world. It is horrible, "hell" General William T Sherman called it. So how do we pray in times of war? Do we pray for an immediate ceasefire? Do we pray for "our side" but not the enemy? Do we pray for everyone affected or just our friends? What does the Bible say about prayer and war or violent conflict? Well, the Word of God has much to offer on this subject, though interestingly does not forbid us from going to war. Nor does he forbid weapons. We may respect pacifists, but their idealism does not align with Scripture. Whatever the motives of war, we are commanded to pray, so how and for whom?
