Intro:
Peace is often the first thing a new believer encounters. There is no other source for true peace except the Prince of Peace. Let your heart be strengthened by the truth in these Bible verses.

Prayer:
Jesus, I have served other masters but none have given me the peace that You give. You are the Prince of Peace! I am grateful for Your Words, ‘Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.’ Your peace is with me in times of trouble and I do not have to be fearful because You are near. I open my heart anew to receive Your peace, to let it guide me, comfort me and renew my strength.

Your Word says You will equip me in every good thing to do Your will. I rejoice in Your abundant provision. I long to see others experience the peace that I have found in You. Even as Your Word says, ‘The kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.’ My prayer is that others would see my life and begin to hunger for You. Amen.

John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”
