Prayer: Lord, Be My Peace...

Lord, be my peace today, not just in the quiet moments but in the middle of everything.

When the phone rings with unexpected news, be my peace.

When conversations feel tense, be my peace.

When my thoughts begin to race ahead of reality, be my peace.

I know this day may not unfold the way I hope. There may be interruptions, pressures, disappointments, and small frustrations that try to chip away at my calm. But none of them are bigger than You.

You are not surprised by anything I will face today.

You are not anxious about my future.

You are not unsettled by what feels overwhelming to me.

So when I feel my heart tightening, remind me to pause. When my mind begins to spiral, draw me back to truth. Help me breathe deeply and remember that You are near.

Peace is not found in perfect circumstances. It is found in Your presence.

Anchor me in that truth. Let Your Spirit steady my reactions, soften my words, and guard my thoughts. Give me a calm that does not depend on good news or easy outcomes, but on the unchanging reality that You are with me.

You have already overcome the world. That means nothing I encounter today is outside Your authority. Nothing can separate me from Your love. Nothing can shake the foundation beneath my feet.

Help me walk slowly, speak gently, and trust fully.

Let my life reflect a quiet confidence that comes from knowing I am held. Even if the day feels busy, let my soul remain still. Even if challenges arise, let my heart remain secure.

Be my peace in every moment, Lord.

And when this day is over, let me look back and see that You carried me through it all.

Amen.

Surrendering Control

Jesus calls you to follow Him with your whole life. Not halfway. Not casually. Not “when it’s convenient.”

We’ve made discipleship comfortable. Manageable. Something that fits into our schedules. But Jesus never said, “Add Me to your life.” He said, “Deny yourself. Take up your cross. Follow Me.”

“Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves… For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for Me and for the gospel will save it.”

That means surrendering control. It means letting Him redefine your ambitions, relationships, money, time, and reputation. It means saying: “You can have all of it.”

When you truly see who He is - the Holy One who was slain and now reigns - casual Christianity becomes impossible. The only reasonable response is to lay your whole life at His feet.

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44)

Jesus Wants You To Know...

"It’s tough to be still and quiet. There are so many things you could be doing - playing outside, talking to a friend, going to the game. But there are times when you have to be still - when you are sick, when you have finished your classwork, or when others need you to be quiet. Instead of wishing away this time, use it to listen for Me and to thank Me for My Presence in your life. Some of My greatest work is done when you are still and quiet. That is when you can hear Me whisper to your heart."

"Be still before the Lord." - Zechariah 2:13 - "Jesus Calling for Kids" by Sarah Young

God's Whisper

In a world that never stops talking, sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is turn off the volume.

We’re so used to hearing God through a screen, a podcast, or a notification. But there’s a different kind of closeness that happens when we step away from the digital noise and into the quiet.

Maybe it’s a walk without headphones, a few moments with a physical journal, or just sitting in the stillness of the morning. It’s in those 'offline' spaces where His whisper often becomes the clearest.
