Peace is an inner sense of contentment regardless of life’s circumstances. It is steadfast confidence in the promises of God. It is the presence of joy in our hearts in the midst of unhappiness. A person who has the genuine peace of God can endure any hardship and difficulty and still enjoy the joy of God’s love in their hearts that most do not understand. Does enjoying God’s perfect peace mean that you’ll never feel the effects of the storms raging around you? Absolutely not, but His peace is complete, adequate and sufficient for anything you face. Perfect peace comes when you fix your mind on God. You never have to worry about God acting too late or providing insufficient help. His timing and purposes are perfect. In fact, He uses your afflictions to reveal more of Himself to you. His Word is full of solid promises which give you the perfect inner peace that brings you joy in God even during the problems you will face in your life. Read Colossians 3: 12-17. Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, thank You for this amazing day You have given us. Thank You for Your love and protection. Thank You for the gifts You have given us and all You have done for us. We pray this day that we are blessings to You. Help us to shine bright with Your love and Your forgiveness. Thank You for the peace we have from Your word and Your love even when we face the problems we have every day in this life. Cover us with Your Holy Spirit so that we may be protected from the sin that roams this earth. We pray that each and every day we walk and talk your word so that life can be brought out of this darkness. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.
