Sweet Peace

When your heart is troubled, and you find that worry keeps your thoughts spinning, come to the Lord who calms all fears. Is there anything that is causing fear to rise in your heart today? Look to Jesus who is reliable in love; his comfort is near. He soothes our souls just like a mother calms her newborn’s cries. He knows how to quiet our anxiety with the peace of his presence.

We can trust God to take care of what we cannot control. In the unknowns, he is the God who watches over us. We will know his peace, and we will not be afraid. We will sleep through the night, and we will be rested and refreshed when morning comes. Breathe in the deep peace of his nearness. Breathe out the need to have all the answers. He calms the fiercest storms, and he will calm the stormy thoughts that rage in our minds and hearts as we look to him. He is the peace we long for.

Good Shepherd, calm my worried heart with the close comfort of your Spirit. Settle my mind in your peace. Fill me with rest as I lean on you. I trust you to take care of me.
