Peace

  

You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.  So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].  Isaiah 26:3-4

Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing [your restoration and the power of a new life] shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.  Isaiah 58:8

Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you.  Not as the world gives do I give to you.  Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.  [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]  John 14:27

Today my prayer for you is that you would know GOD's peace.  Not the peace that is fleeting here on earth, that comes with a quiet morning by the ocean (haven't experienced that one...so it would be hard for me to wish it for you), but the peace that passes all understanding that only comes from God.  May you grow so close to Him, that you experience His peace even in the center of the storm.  Knowing that no matter what happens, what life throws at you, that it truly is going to be okay.  I pray peace for you...in all things...at all times...knowing fully that He has got your back.  This is my prayer for you.
