The Perfect Peace of Your Continually Abiding Presence



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 long to remain in Your perfect peace! How I need to know that Your Presence abides continually here with me!


I know that it is not Your will for me to wear myself out—mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually—by spending my days trying to figure out things on my own—as if I could ever do anything apart from You!

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

So help me to quiet the wanderings of my mind, so I can be still in Your Presence—as I create room for You in my life and invite You in to fill my heart with Your Spirit.

Then help me to allow You to take over all my thoughts and saturate my mind and spirit with the Light of the Truth of Your Word.

Help me to believe that it is your great desire that I walk with You in peace—at all times and in every situation and circumstance.


How I long to remain in Your perfect peace! How I need to know that Your Presence abides continually here with me!


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