Day 20- Peace Instead of Fear 

• God’s Word

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14:27‬ (‭NLT‬‬) 

• Today’s Thought

In this passage, Jesus knew he was about to die, depart from this world, and ascend to be with the Father. It is so amazing that He says, "I'm leaving you a gift." This gift was peace of mind and heart. This was His Legacy. He was giving us peace with God and the ability to have peace in our minds.

Anxiety and fear are very real things, and they are at an all-time high in our culture today. We've never had so many self-help tactics, workout programs, and pills at our disposal, but we still can't seem to find peace.  

It's been said that FEAR stands for "false evidence appearing real!" The enemy of our souls has one thing in mind: to kill our hopes, steal our peace, and destroy our future. Jesus, the one who created peace and who is the Prince of Peace, has come to give us life and life to the full, till it overflows! That kind of life is full of perfect peace. Nothing in this world can provide us with that sense of peace that can only come as a fruit of the Spirit of God ruling in our hearts. Never in history have we had more of a need for the kind of peace that only God can give us. It is a true gift. 

As we continue to pray this prayer of blessing over ourselves, our family, friends, and future, let's thank God for the gift of His peace.   

• My Prayer 

May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace. Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT) 

Heavenly Father, today I thank you that you sent your one and only Son Jesus so that I can have a relationship with you and have peace with you. I no longer have a reason to fear. I can walk in complete confidence as I let your peace rule in my heart. I pray that you would give me that peace today and every day as I trust in you. I pray for that peace in my family, my friends, and my future. Thank you, Jesus, for this gift. In Jesus' name, Amen!
