UNSHAKABLE

"The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace.
Because he trusts in You."


~ Isaiah 8:9 NASB

"God who sees and hears and knows everything, how is it you have perfect peace? I can't comprehend it. Within minutes of waking, the enemies of my peace are jabbing away at me. The weight of responsibility, memories of disappointment, and a vague sense of dread sometimes greet me before my feet hit the floor. Greet them back, Father, with your peace. Bless me with your sight, so that responsibilities become privileges, memories are wisdom gained, and dread is replaced with joyful anticipation. Make me unshakable, God. This world will come at me until the day I die, but I don't have to let it catch me. Instead, I will pursue and claim your peace."

"How can we trust God to calm us and give us His peace?"
