Peace in His PresenceSample

Day 2: Encouraged and Strengthened by the Holy Spirit

Friend

Feeling overwhelmed? True peace isn’t found in circumstances but in the Holy Spirit. Just as He strengthened the early church, He is ready to comfort and empower you today!

I am always amazed at how the early church had so much peace and strength to endure intense persecution. When I look at God's Word, it says that the comfort and strength of the Holy Spirit were with them, and they experienced His peace

📖 Scripture:

Acts 9:31 (AMP)

"So, the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up [in wisdom, virtue, and faith], and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort and encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it continued to grow."

The early church had one open secret—they enjoyed peace through the comfort and encouragement of the Holy Spirit, and they continued to grow despite all difficulties. I live in Pakistan, and I can relate to this. Stress, fear, and exhaustion often weigh us down, but the Holy Spirit is always our source of comfort. The church in Pakistan is thriving, growing in faith and strength, and I know it is the work of the Holy Spirit—giving peace, encouraging, and empowering today’s church.

No matter what storms come, His presence is our anchor. If you’re feeling weary today, invite the Holy Spirit in. His peace will sustain you, just as it did for the church in Acts.

Are you feeling weary, anxious, or overwhelmed by life’s challenges? The early church faced great trials, yet they experienced peace, comfort, and strength through the Holy Spirit. That same Spirit is with you today. His presence is your source of encouragement and renewal. Pause for a moment, invite Him in, and let His peace fill your heart. You are not alone—He is with you, guiding and strengthening you.

Prayer:

"Holy Spirit, I welcome You into my life today. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Just as You strengthened the early church, strengthen me in my struggles. Comfort my heart, calm my fears, and help me walk in Your presence daily. I trust in You and rest in Your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

You are a miracle.
