Have Peace Beyond Understanding

“Peace I leave with you.  My peace I give to you.  Not as the world gives it.  Don’t troubled or afraid.” (John 14:27)

Lord,

Thank you for your gift of peace,

Especially in times when there’s no reason for peace.

Fill me with your gift,

Give me your peace that’s beyond understanding,

Beyond my power.

Help me to instead of worrying,

Rest in your love,

And rest in your peace.

I choose your peace rather than fear,

Because of your power,

And your promises.

Amen.
