For the Peace Provided by Rejoicing
Gracious Father,
When we give our attention to all of the reasons that you give us to be filled with joy, the added benefit is that we are also at peace. That peace stands like a bodyguard on watch outside of our hearts. Let it keep anxiety away and worry at bay. When we are mindful of the joyful blessings in our lives, we better appreciate how good you are to us. The peace that exists between us gives us the assurance of where we stand with you, no matter what our sinful track record looks like at any given time in our lives. Thank you for a peace that surpasses any peace the world could ever give.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
