We pray. God gives peace.
May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way (2 Thessalonians 3:16).

On Prayer and Peace
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.*
In everything make your requests known to God in prayer and petition with thanksgiving. Then the peace of God . . . will guard your hearts (Philippians 4:6,7 NEB).
*Joseph Scriven, What a Friend We Have in Jesus.
Honest Prayer
“I called out to God, softly. ‘Hello? I’m sorry God. I’m sorry I got so confused about You, got so fake. If you want to talk, I’m here now.’
As I lay there, talking to God, being real with Him, I began to feel a bit of serenity. It felt like I was apologizing to an old friend, and the friend as saying it was okay, that he didn’t think anything of it.
I felt a lot of peace.”*
*adapted from Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz, p.99-100).
Peace
Search your heart several times a day, and if you find something that is disturbing your peace, remember to take the proper steps to restore the calm. — Francis de Sales
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6).
