THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE: RESTING IN GOD’S PEACE

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: John 14:27 (NIV)
 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." 

Devotional:
In a world full of stress, chaos, and constant demands, finding peace can feel impossible. We often search for peace in external circumstances—through people, success, or material things. However, true and lasting peace can only be found in God. Resting in God’s peace means letting go of our worries and placing our trust in Him, knowing that He is in control. It’s about surrendering our anxieties and embracing the calm assurance that God’s plan is perfect, even when life feels uncertain.

One powerful example of resting in God’s peace comes from the life of Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch Christian who helped hide Jews during the Holocaust. Despite being imprisoned in a concentration camp, Corrie remained strong in her faith. She found peace in God even in the most horrific circumstances. She once said, “There is no pit so deep, that God’s love is not deeper still.” Her unwavering trust in God’s peace carried her through unimaginable trials.

Resting in God’s peace doesn’t mean life will be without difficulties, but it does mean that we can face challenges without fear or anxiety. God’s peace is available to us in every situation, and when we surrender our worries to Him, we can find comfort and strength in His presence.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What areas of my life are causing me stress or anxiety right now?
2. How can I practise trusting God’s plan and resting in His peace in those situations?
3. What steps can I take to focus more on God’s promises and less on my worries?
4. How does trusting in God’s peace change the way I face life’s challenges?

Let us pray:
Lord, help me to rest in Your perfect peace. When my heart is troubled and anxious, remind me that You are in control. Give me the strength to surrender my worries to You and trust that Your peace will guard my heart and mind. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I will rest in God's peace, knowing it will get me to where I am going.
• I rest in God’s peace, knowing that He is in control of every situation in my life.
• I let go of my anxieties and trust in His perfect plan, allowing His peace to fill my heart and guide my steps.

Do have an awe-mazing day. Take good care, I’ll see you tomorrow
