Pray for the Church's Peace
Commentators unanimously interpret the call to 'pray for the peace of Jerusalem' as a timeless command for believers to pray for the Church. This 'peace' is comprehensive, including internal unity, freedom from external persecution, spiritual health, and missional influence. As Matthew Henry notes, even those who can do nothing else for the Church can pray for it.
