God Gives Peace to People of Faith
Backgrounder on Isaiah 24-27:
In these 4 chapters, the redeemed
ones, vindicated at last, break forth
in spontaneous song, exalting
the Lord. Though often downcast
and downtrodden, the people
of God now have something
truly worth singing about: refuge,
deliverance and ultimate triumph
in the Holy One of Israel.
Lord, U Give Peace to the Trusting:
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in You.
Trust in the Lord forever, for
the Lord, the Lord Himself is
the Rock eternal (Isa 26:3-4).
Lord, You promise peace to those
who trust in You and set their
minds on You. Lord, You are my
rock, You are dependable and
You are worthy of my full trust.
And I know as long as I look
to You, I cannot be shaken.
And though my mind and heart
may be troubled, I choose to
focus on You, believe your Word, pray your Word and stand on it. And Help me to make your promises the foundation for
every day of my life. Amen.
Lord, thank you for Your promise
that your perfect peace will guard
my heart and mind. And in Christ
I can be relaxed and at peace
in the midst of confusions and
perplexities of this life. I need
Your peace as the list of tasks
and challenges replay in my head.
Help me do these things and trust
U with all my heart. And Keep me
praying instead of worrying. Amen
Lord, the reason I have peace
about the future is because my
future is found in You. Even though
I don’t know the details about
what is to come, You know every-
thing & my future is in your hands.
Help me to walk faithfully with
You each day in Your Word and in
prayer so that I can move into the
purposes U have for my life. Amen
