You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.—Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)
Throughout Scripture, there are many examples of God bringing peace. From the israelites at the Red Sea to Elijah after his encounter at Mount Carmel, God calmed fears and brought comfort. When life is chaotic and you are worried about the future, turn to prayer. God’s voice is peace.
Prince of Peace, guide me to do the tasks that I can do to help clear the chaos, and help me to leave my worries with You. I know in my heart that You have everything under control.
But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.—Psalm 73:28 (ESV)
