Peace, I give to you.

 Amen. This is not a wish or a hope, but a divine declaration and a promise from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He spoke these words to His disciples on the night before His crucifixion, a time of immense turmoil and fear, offering them a peace that the world could never provide.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

- John 14:27 (NIV)

What Is This Peace?

The peace of Christ is profoundly different from worldly peace.

· Worldly Peace is the absence of trouble, conflict, or stress. It is external and fragile.

· Christ's Peace is the presence of God and His sovereign rule in the midst of trouble. It is an internal, unshakable confidence that God is in control, He is good, and we are safe in Him, no matter what is happening around us.

It is a gift, purchased by His blood, and administered by His Spirit.

A Prayer to Receive His Peace

Prince of Peace, Lord Jesus,

Thank You for this incredible gift. You do not offer us a temporary truce with our problems, but Your own deep, abiding, and supernatural peace.

I receive it now. I open my heart to the peace that You alone can give.

· Quiet my anxious thoughts with the truth of Your Word.

· Still my troubled heart with the assurance of Your love.

· Anchor my soul in the reality of Your sovereignty.

When fears arise, remind me that You have overcome the world. When chaos swirls, be the calm at the center of my storm. Let Your peace, which transcends all understanding, stand guard over my heart and mind in You.

I choose to not let my heart be troubled. I choose to not be afraid. I rest in Your peace.

In Your mighty name, Amen.

A Poem: "Peace I Give to You"

"Peace I Give to You"

The world gives peace when storms are past,

A fragile calm that cannot last.

It gives when circumstances please,

A fickle,momentary ease.

But I give peace the world can't know,

A peace that makes the soul to grow.

A peace that stands when all gives way,

A peace that brightens darkest day.

My peace I give, a gift to you,

To make your weary heart like new.

Not as the world gives,do I give,

But in My presence,you will live.

So let your heart not be afraid,

Nor by the shadow be dismayed.

For I have overcome the night,

And I am your eternal light.

Receive My peace, let it now reign,

Through joy and sorrow,sun and rain.

My perfect peace,for you, My own,

A treasure for your heart alone.

May the peace of Christ, which is your inheritance as His child, fill you to overflowing today. No matter what you face, His peace is your portion. Receive it, and walk in it.
