PEACE IN ALL THINGS

Experiencing peace in all things means that peace is available to you regardless of what things may look like. We all experience different situations that may try to pull our peace from us. The truth of the matter is that peace is not based on our circumstances or our situation but peace is a promise given from God. That in Him, we can call on the Prince of Peace and find our hope in Jesus. Despite what may be facing you today, you are called to be an agent of peace in this world. When we know God is working on our behalf, we can carry ourselves with a holy confidence bringing His peace into any situation. God is not surprised by the day-to-day challenges that we face and He gave us the key to carrying peace by abiding in a relationship with Him. The Bible says that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, and as we remain connected to Jesus, we will bear fruit. Peace is a fruit of the Spirit, that we can experience in our daily walk. Peace is found internally through connection and dependence on God, however, the fruit is not only for our consumption. The peace we are called to carry as followers of Jesus is powerful! A peace that can de-escalate tension, a peace that fights against fear, worry, and anxiety. Today call upon the peace that can shift the atmosphere of any room you walk into!

Application/ Reflection:

• How have you experienced a peace that doesn’t make sense based on your situation?
• How can you carry the Peace of God to shift things around you?
• Where do you need an increase of peace in your life?

Prayer:

Lord, I thank You that in You I can experience a peace that surpasses all understanding. I thank You that my peace is not based on what I see around me but on who dwells within me. I thank You that You are with me, You will never leave me, and that in any situation I face, Your peace is for me. I pray against any fear, worry, or anxiety that would try to come against my peace today. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen!
