Peace and Quiet

boy with sheepLord, my soul is in turmoil and I am deeply distressed.  Fear greets me every morning.  It lies in wait on my bed and rules in my thoughts and feelings as soon as I open my eyes.  I enter the new day troubled and afraid.  There are challenges that I must face with courage, yet bravery is not allowed in my fears.  Please Lord, speak to my troubled heart and make it calm.  You have not given me a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of Power and Love.  .  .and a Sound Mind.

“Peace I leave with you.  My own Peace I now hand over to you and make it yours.  Not as the world gives do I give to you. It is yours without conditions.  Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  .  .stop allowing yourself to be agitated and disturbed and do not permit yourself to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have Perfect Peace and confidence.  In the world you have tribulations and trials and distress and frustrations;  but be of good cheer and take courage.  Be confident, certain, undaunted, for I have overcome the world.  I have deprived it of power to truly harm you.  I have conquered it for you.  John 14;27; 16:33
