Episode 384: Peace

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Peace

I live in peace, for you are the God of love and peace, and you are with me.

I turned from evil and do good, and I actively seek peace and pursue it. 

I am not anxious about anything. In every situation, I come to you, Father, in prayer and petition with thanksgiving. I present all of my requests to you. And your peace, which transcends all understanding, guards my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus.

I lie down at night and sleep in peace, for you alone make me dwell in safety.

You are the Lord of peace, and you give me peace at all times and in every way.

I do not have to work at peace, it is a fruit of the Spirit, along with love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness and faithfulness. All I have to do is abide in you and have your word abide in me, and the fruit of your Spirit is the natural result.

I let the peace of Christ rule in my heart. I was called to peace. And I express gratitude in every season of my life. 

I have been justified through faith, and through Jesus, I have peace.

I do not allow my mind to be governed by the flesh -- that leads to death. My mind is governed by the Spirit, and I have peace and life more abundant.

Your kingdom isn't about eating and drinking, but about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Serving Christ in this way is pleasing to you, Father. So I make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification with my brothers and sisters.

You are not a God of disorder but of peace.

I am your child, a child of the God of peace, so I make it my business to be a peacemaker. 

I make every effort to live in peace with everyone, to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace, to be holy as you are holy.

You take pleasure in me and cause even my enemies to make peace with me. 

Whenever possible, as far as it depends on me, I live at peace with everyone.

I sow in peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.

You keep me in perfect peace because my mind is steadfast on you, and I trust in you alone.

You give me strength and you bless me with peace. 

Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and when he left the earth, he left his peace with me as a gift. Not the way the world gives, which is temporary and based on circumstances, but a perfect peace that is unconditional. So I don't let my heart be troubled, and I am not afraid. 

I know that you have a plan and a future for me as I continue to seek peace.

I listen to what you say, Father. You promise peace to me and I am your faithful servant.

I love your word. When I follow it, I have great peace and nothing can make me stumble.

You establish peace for me; all that I have accomplished you have done for me.

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, your unfailing love for me will not be shaken nor will your covenant of peace be removed. 

I go out in joy and am led forth in peace. The mountains and hills burst into song before me, and all the trees of the field clap their hands.

Your hope fills me with all joy and peace as I trust in you, and I overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
