Peace With GodSample

Peace in God's Presence

Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”

In the middle of all the busyness, noise, and constant demands of life, it’s easy to forget how powerful stillness can be. But when we take just a moment to be still before God, acknowledging His greatness, something incredible happens—His peace fills our hearts. The storms inside us begin to quiet down, and we’re reminded that He’s in control, no matter what’s going on around us.

I remember a time when my life felt completely out of control. I was overwhelmed by a deep sense of purposelessness. Anxiety, depression, and insomnia were taking over, and I lived with a constant fear of death. Even though I sought medical help, nothing seemed to work. After many sleepless nights, there was one evening, driving home from the office, where I felt like everything was just falling apart and my life was slipping away.

When I got home, I broke down in front of my mother and poured out everything I was struggling with. She looked at me and said, “You need the presence of God.” Without hesitation, my whole family gathered around to pray for me. And something unexpected happened—right in the middle of that prayer, I fell asleep.

What I experienced was profound. There was this deep, overwhelming peace in the presence of God, unlike anything I had felt before. But it didn’t end there. Not only did God grant me peace, but He filled me with His Holy Spirit. That moment changed everything. It transformed how I saw life and reminded me of just how powerful God’s presence truly is.

Prayer

Father, help me to be still before You. In the midst of life’s chaos, remind me to pause and recognize that You are God. Fill me with Your peace as I rest in Your presence today. Amen.
