More on the peace that God offers us—peace with Him, peace with ourselves, peace with others.

We can carry this peace into our day by  trusting in God. One primary way of walking in peace is lifting up the shield of faith by praise when difficulties come; this is the demonstration of our trust in you, Lord,  for, “You are good and ready to forgive and plenteous in mercy to all those who call upon you” (Ps. 86:5, KJV).

And as we trust in you, your peace continues to fill us, and opens the way for joy and hope. As it says in Romans 15:13,  “May the God of hope fill You with all joy and peace as You trust in Him so that Your lives may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  Without our trusting Him, none of this will come to pass.

We praise you, Lord Jesus, for you are

the Lamb of God,

the Savior of the world,

the Prince of Peace,

the Harbinger of Hope,

the Lover of our souls,

the Bringer of justice,

the Minister of mercy,

the Creator of all,

the Beginner and Ender of time.

Therefore, We exalt you, Lord Jesus: we lift up your name, we magnify your majesty, and we bow down in worship, then we rise up to obey. Help us to trust you fully today so we might be filled with all joy and peace, and overflow with hope.
