The Gift of Peace

Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace
him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.

John 14:27
Jesus said, "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."

Jesus, My Redeemer, Sent from the heart of God,
Thank You for the precious gift of peace. It’s mine when I choose to walk hand-in-hand, day-by-day, minute-by-minute trusting You. This world gives me trouble, confusion, and conflict, but You leave me with the present of peace to guard my heart and mind. I unwrap it by:

• Receiving it from You, my heavenly Father, who lovingly adopted and accepted me into the royal family of God, bestowing me with many blessings.
• Trusting the power of the Holy Spirit, the endless cord that securely ties the package of peace to my heart and mind.
• Believing the Truth of Your Word, sincerely written by a devoted Father to his beloved child as a beautiful gift card.
• Accepting You, God’s own dear Son, sent directly to me from the heart of my Father to pay the ultimate price for it.
  

Dear Lord, the only thing I desire today is blessed quiet and holy peace to protect me from the storms of strife surrounding me. Supported by Your love, secured to the endless power source, I just want to focus on You, trust Your promises, and enjoy the priceless gift of peace purchased specifically for me by You, Jesus, God’s own Son. Amen.

Unwrap the gift of peace: Receive it from the Father, trust in the Holy Spirit, believe the Words He’s written to You, and be thankful that Jesus paid the price for it.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
