PEACE

You want peace but you just don't have it?  You keep rolling something over and over in your mind?  It just doesn't sit well with you?  You just can't seem to give it up or turn it over?  You want to have a victory in this area, but it's just not coming very quickly?  Then perhaps it's time to speak with the Man in Charge.  Take some of your precious time now and pause to pray to Someone Who really can make a difference.  Pray for perspective - His perspective.  Why not begin with this short prayer.  The sit back and listen to Him speak through His Word to you!

Prayer: O God, Your Word actually says that Your children can pray for a perfect peace.  Well God, nothing seems further from me right now.  I can't imagine a peace about these circumstances and they certainly don't look perfect.  Lord, there is no process that I know of that is more important to my having peace than to pray Your words back to You.  It is as if I am reminding myself and You of what You have already said.  It is Your words that I pray in Jesus' name and I thank You for hearing and answering these my prayers. Amen.

God, in accordance with Your Word ...

I pray, God, that You will keep me in perfect peace, because my mind is riveted on You, because I trust in You.
