“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

Before Jesus died, He told His disciples not to be troubled and afraid. He provided peace to calm the minds of many and asked that they maintain it after He was gone. He told them to find peace with one another and discover peace with our loving God.

God provides hope and comfort as we experience life with Him. He continues to give PEACE for today. He helps us battle anxious thoughts and open our hearts for praise. When circumstances happen that we can’t control, God finds the way to remind us who takes care of us.    

Prayer is a wonderful way to surrender fear and honestly tell God what we need.  He knows what we need to find balance so we won’t stumble and fall. He helps us receive the love of His holiness and find strength to carry on... 

God helps us endure life’s difficulties. It’s easier to fight worry by giving thanks and honoring God for who He is; the Provider of everything we need to welcome calm. HE hears our prayers for mercy and knows how to place PEACE where it belongs.   

God will remove what we bravely surrender. Peace and panic will never be allowed to sit together when we PRAY. He will help us as we faithfully TRUST and ask Him to battle fear. God will show how to leave our worries behind, so we will breathe in HOPE and experience the fullness of His powerful LOVE.   

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence. Forgive us when we forget to trust in YOU. Balance our thoughts and help us experience the fullness of mercy and grace. Remove what we bravely surrender and replace it with courage and calm. Thank you for hearing our prayers and knowing our hearts. Thank you for the power of love. We’re so grateful for what happens when we start giving thanks for ALL You provide. Thank you for perfect PEACE that nurtures gratitude. Thank you, Lord! Amen
