A PRAYER FOR PEACE

"Thou will keep him in perfect peace". 

Isaiah 26:3 KJV 

Here is a prayer for peace: Lord, Your WORD says, "Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee." Your WORD says, "The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace" (Psalm 29:11 NIV 2011 Edition). Your WORD says, "The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will gaurd your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7 NIV 2011 Edition). Today I need this peace which transcends understanding to settle my nerves and calm my mind. Instead of thinking about my fears and worries, help me to focus on Your goodness, Your faithfulness, Your healing power, Your overflowing resources, and Your forgiving heart. Take up residence within me and fill me with your peace. I thank You now for whatever it will take to help me receive the peace You have so generously offered to me. Your WORD says' "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts" (Colossians 3:15 NIV 2011 Edition). Today I want to be ruled by Your peace instead of my fears and worries. So, I give all my concerns to You, trusting You to work them out for my good and Your glory. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
