The Gifts and Blessings of Strength and Peace



The LORD gives his people strength.
    The L
ORD blesses them with peace.

—Psalm 29:11 (NLT)


LORD of Strength and Peace,


From Your glorious riches You pour out strength and peace upon me—that sustaining strength and abiding peace which can only be found in You!


You are the One who strengthens me so I can shine forth Your glory!  You cause me to stand in Your strength, fortified against the forces of evil, fully equipped and perfectly suited to accomplish the good works that You have called me to do.

Thank You that though I am very weak, I am made very strong in You—as your strength is made perfect in my weakness and I come to understand and acknowledge my total dependence upon You.

You are the One who blesses me with peace—not as the world might measure peace, but according to the unfathomable depths of Your peace, which cannot be measured with human understanding.

Thank You that this peace can be mine today—even as I still remain in this evil world.  And it can remain unbroken, if I demonstrate my faith in Your Word through obedience to Your instructions and commands—until that day that You take me home to that place of eternal peace with You.


From Your glorious riches You pour out strength and peace upon me—that sustaining strength and abiding peace which can only be found in You!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
