Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 

God wakes us to experience all He provides, in His time and for His purpose. He arms us with strength, as we seek Him and ready ourselves to rise.

There’s benefit in being still before we race to move ahead. In quiet moments of reflection, God silences the distractions of the world and opens our hearts to receive Him. He provides everything we need to come before His presence and discover how it feels to welcome perfect peace. 

When we seek God with all of our hearts, He helps us remember who’s in charge of all things. He fills us with strength and reminds us where to find it. He guides us on a path of purpose and sets the stage for what’s to come. And, when we have learned to trust, He helps us understand why we need Him. 

God will show us how it feels to embrace a grateful heart. He will lead us to a prayer of praise and help us recognize when we’re ready to face the day. He will guide us on a path of purpose, but not until we have been readied to rise. 

Dear God, Thank you for opening our eyes to another day of life. You are the Provider of everything we need. We will trust in You and patiently wait to be led on a path of purpose. And,we will gratefully honor the gift of Your amazing love. Amen
