Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Meditation:
Peace comes from a disciplined life of prayer that results in an intimate fellowship with God. (Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie)Do you have peace? Do you have perfect peace? Do you want peace? It is found in the place of prayer. It is found in resting in the one who can carry all that can ever come your way. It is found in resting in the one who has already been to and seen your future. It is found in the one who has a future of peace, a future of hope; a future of elevation; a future of glory for you. Will you give Him a place today? Will you rest in Him?
Further Reading: Isaiah 26; Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:25-27; Psalm 119:165
Prayer: Lord, help me guard my place of peace jealously in/with you. Deliver me from the temptation of carrying more than you have allotted me. Help burn in me, “it is never about what I can do for you, but it is always about what you are and will do through and in me.”
