Increase Your PeaceSýnishorn

The Peace That God Gives

Welcome to your first day of learning all about how to increase peace in your life. And who wouldn’t want more peace, right? 

What do you need when everything’s too scary, too loud, too busy, too tiring, too stressful, too argumentative, just too much? You need peace! 

And what kind of peace do you need? Like, just a quiet place? Or, like, just making everyone around start smiling and acting nice? 

Quiet is great. Acting nice is great. But you know what’s greater? God’s true and lasting peace. It’s a foundation of goodness and trust that will be there for you, no matter what else may happen around you. Watch this verse song video from Colossians 3:15 NLT to help you understand the kind of peace we’re going to learn about in this Bible Plan. 

“Peace when I’m restless. Peace when my heart breaks. Peace in the chaos. Peace when the world shakes. The peace that You give me is more than the world takes.” 

Did you get all those words from the song? They’re powerful. And they’re true! God can always give you more peace than the world can take from you. 

This Bible Plan will show you more ways you can increase God’s peace—even when your heart is breaking or the world is in chaos.

Tomorrow, you’ll read about how to increase God’s peace when you’re feeling restless.

Ask yourself: What areas of my life don’t feel very peaceful right now? 

Challenge yourself: Write down any areas of your life that don’t feel very peaceful right now. Fold the paper you wrote them on up several times. Hold it in your hands while you pray the prayer below.

Pray: God, thank You for offering me peace. The situations I’m holding in my hands right now aren’t very peaceful. Please work in these situations. Please help my heart to feel You holding me close, giving me peace. Thank You for being so trustworthy. In Jesus’ name, amen.
