So Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and called it “The Lord makes peace.” ~ Judges 6:23-24a (CEB)
Jesus says: "I give you peace, the kind of peace that only I can give. It isn’t like the peace that this world can give. So don’t be worried or afraid." ~ John 14:27 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
The Lord offers his peace to calm our anxieties.PRAYER:
Lord,
THANKS: Thank you for being concerned about me and the things which cause me to be anxious.
REGRETS: I confess that I feel too much anxiety. I know that you offer peace. But I still choose to get stressed over all the problems.
INTERCESSION: Help me to experience your peace today. There are so many things which are stressful. I need some relief.
PURPOSE: I'm going to trust Jesus not just for salvation -- but also for peace. I'm planning that his peace will become so much a part of who I am that I'll be transformed into a peacemaker.
Amen.
