Blessing = Peace

The Lord blesses his people with peace. ~ Psalm 29:11b (NIRV)

By faith we have been made acceptable to God. And now, because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we live at peace with God. ~ Romans 5:1 (CEV)
Generous God, I have nothing apart from your blessings. Sometimes I get carried away looking to be blessed with new things, a new job, new friends, a new family, new clothes... My wants and desires are endless. But you have a completely different idea of what constitutes a blessing. Forgive my self-centered shortsightedness. I give you, Prince of Peace, permission to rewire my heart and mind so that I am passionate about your peace. That would be a real blessing. Amen.
