PRAYER AND PERSPECTIVE
True peace isn’t found in perfect conditions — it’s found in the posture of trust.
When we pause to pray instead of panic, we remind our hearts that God is in control, not our circumstances.
Gratitude and surrender keep our spirit aligned when life feels unsteady.
This kind of peace doesn’t ignore the chaos; it chooses to rest in the One who speaks calm over it.
📖 Scripture
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
— Isaiah 26:3 (NIV)
🙏 Prayer
Lord, help me pause before I react.
Settle my spirit in the assurance that You are near.
Let my thoughts rest on Your promises instead of my problems.
Thank You for guarding my heart with peace that passes understanding.
Amen.
