A Space Within My Heart For You



Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.

—2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NLT)


Lord of Peace,


How I need Your perfect peace! How I need You here with me!


I know that it is not Your will for me to wear myself out—mentally, emotionally and physically—by spending my days fretting over how things are going to work out in my life.

And I know the peace that I so desperately need will never come from my trying to “figure it all out” on my own—as if I could do anything apart from Your mercy, grace and strength.

In fact, my trying to “figure it all out” is the very thing that keeps me from Your peace—that peace that is far beyond my intellect, way beyond my understanding!

So help me to quiet my mind, so I can be still in Your presence, as I make a space within my heart for You to come and fill—by allowing Your Spirit to take over my thoughts and saturate my mind and spirit with the Light of the Truth of Your Word.

I know it is Your desire that I walk in Your peace at all times—in every situation and circumstance.

So, help me to submit my will to Yours and receive the gift of peace that You have waiting for me—a peace that can only be found when I have made room for You to be with me—so that I can abide in the peace of Your Presence, always.


How I need Your perfect peace! How I need You here with me!


In Your Precious and Glorious Name, Lord Jesus—my Prince of Peace!
