21 Days of Prayer and FastingSample

Peace

Power is influence over external events. Peace is influence over internal events. God has given us a gift that goes beyond what makes sense: an internal calm that isn’t dependent on the situation or circumstances. When the world is going crazy around us, we can remain calm and composed, not because of some security the world offers but because of an internal knowing that God is in control.

Moreover, God’s peace is a guardrail, guiding us away from wrong choices and danger and keeping us on track. If we are sensing a loss of peace, that’s an indicator of something being out of alignment. The good news is God is faithful to His Word, and He offers us His courageous peace when we yield to Him.

PRAYER:

Father, thank You for your gift of peace. Help me see how I’ve been trying to find security in the external world rather than turning to You. Nothing can replace the peace that only You can provide–it is consistent and amazing! I pray your peace will guard my heart and my mind. Guide me in your ways of perfect peace, so that I live a life in harmony with those around me.
