You know sometimes when I think of peace I think that it is something that just happens. You know like being somewhere (like a lake) and thinking "it is so peaceful here" or that feeling, that quietness when the kids are in bed? Those times are peaceful BUT surely that is not the only time we can have peace.
As I have lost my peace several times recently I looked up some scriptures only to be reminded that it is something that we pursue (1Peter 8:11). Wow. I don't have to wait for peacefulness to just come to me? God has given me the tools to pursue it (through faith, prayer, having the mind of Christ). So, today I'd like us to pray for peace in our lives.
Lord, we come to you today with thankfulness for everything that you have done in our lives and for everything that you will do. You said in your Word that your peace will guard our hearts and minds (Phil 4:8). I pray that you give me strength and that I am reminded that I have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16) and that I have peace. I commit to pursue it. I pray that the Holy Spirit reminds me to renew my mind when I am about to give up my peace. In Jesus Name, Amen.
