PRAYER

My Shalom, I adore You, for You are the peace that transcends all understanding, the peace that our troubled world ardently seeks.

Thank You, Jesus, for Your selfless sacrifice, bringing forth shalom to humanity. Without You, true peace remains elusive and unattainable. Thank You for calming every storm in me.

Forgive me for allowing fears and worries to infiltrate my heart, weakening my spirit and sometimes rendering me immobile.

Holy Spirit, come upon me, so I can fully receive and tangibly experience shalom in every dimension. Empower me to carry and radiate this peace wherever I journey. Grant me the strength to restore peace within my family, community, city, country, and the world I inhabit.

Because You are my Shalom, I declare that the same peace that Jesus experienced while on earth resides within me, reigning over my heart. No circumstance can snatch it away from me.

A FEW FACTS…

• Shalom (שָׁלוֹם), the Hebrew word for peace, encompasses various meanings: completion, fulfillment, perfection, harmony with oneself and others, well-being, safety, universal flourishing, wholeness, and delight.
• Adonai Shalom (יְהוָה שָׁלוֹם) is one of three names for God that were associated with altars in the Bible. The other two names are Yahweh-Yireh (The LORD Will Provide), mentioned in Genesis 22:14, and Yahweh-Nissi (The LORD is My Banner), mentioned in Exodus 17:15.
• When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, commissioning him as a new judge to deliver the Israelites from the Midianites, Gideon feared for his life. However, the angel reassured him, saying, 'Peace! Do not be afraid. You will not die!' This encounter profoundly impacted Gideon, leading him to construct an altar named Adonai Shalom (The LORD is Peace)."

SMILE & BREATHE

Find a quiet place or use headphones and music to block out noise. Sit quietly, relax your shoulders, neck, and jaw.

Smile, for your inner peace is not dependent on your external environment.

Inhale through your nose, focusing on the word “Shalom”, deeply filling yourself with peace.

When your lungs are full, pause for a moment, holding your breath. Sincerely thank Him for the harmony and tranquility He has given your body, mind, and soul.

Then slowly and gently exhale through your mouth, releasing to Him any inner unrest and turmoil.

If needed, repeat these steps to prepare yourself for the next section.

BLESSINGS

Day 6 of HE has come to an end, and I want to express my gratitude for your presence. My prayer is that the One who once stilled the tempest with a commanding "Peace! Be Still" will also bring tranquility to the turbulent storms in your life. He is always in full control.

Allow me to conclude with a cherished quote by Bill Johnson: “Peace is not the absence of SOMETHING, it is the presence of SOMEONE.”
