Dear heavenly Father, I praise, bless, and adore you for many reasons. Today, in particular, I rejoice in your commitment to give us peace—to center, settle, and encourage our hearts. You never pressure us just to ‘”get over it, buck up, and be strong”. You welcome us in our weakness, confusion, and frailties.
In Paul’s words, you promise peace “at all times and in every situation.” To know that you are with us and for us, to know that you love us and are in control of all things—that is what we need, more than anything else.
Grant us peace, as we trust you with the hearts and futures of our children .
Grant us peace, as we trust you with the hearts and futures of our marriages.
Grant us peace, as we make important decisions. Some of us are facing career changes, church choices, economic challenges, and health issues.
Help us to put our trust in you alone in Jesus name Amen.

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 14:17 .
