Prayer Journey—Peace

During the next few weeks, each Monday I will be praying through the fruit of the Spirit, focusing on one word in Galatians 5:22-23. Today’s word is peace.

What is peace dear Lord? I pray for peace in this world full of turmoil, yet unrest continues. I seek calm, quiet, in this restless world. Then I hear your whisper, a small voice. “Come. Bring your burdens to me. Bring your longings to me. Bring your brokenness to me. Lay them at my feet. Rest. Peace can be found with me.” Thank you dear Jesus that your peace reigns, even in the midst of so much turmoil in the world. Your peace never fades. It is steadfast. In you dear Jesus I can find peace.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. – Matthew 11:28-30, NIV

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. – Galatians 5:22-23, NASB
