Respite For the Weary
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
Psalm 119:165
Those who love Your law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.
Isaiah 26:3-4
The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.
Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:14
For He Himself is our peace...
My Child,
I came to give you peace. No other meditation rituals or mind- practices can compare to the serenity I can give your soul. The more you understand who I am in my Word, the more you will crave the quietness that only I can give. Hear me say to you each day, “In repentance and rest you shall be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength” (Isaiah 30:15).
Immanuel
But God gives more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." James 4:6
Dear Lord,
Forgive us of our pride! Help us to keep our eyes on you. The more we exalt your name, the less we exalt our own. As we humble ourselves before you, give us the grace that we need for the moment. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
