Blessed with Peace

What are the most relaxed times of your day or week? Is it when you go for a walk, or sit on the porch in the evening? It could be that first waking moment of your day when everything is quiet and calm. Peace is a very big part of the story of relaxing, whether it is having a calm spirit, a still body, or a still mind. We crave those moments in our ever-increasingly busy world.

Before you approach the busy times, ask the Lord for peace. The psalm here says that he gives strength and blesses with peace. Rely on that promise, and drink it in, until you feel equipped for the day ahead.

Lord, thank you that I have this moment right now to still my heart, mind, and body. I accept the blessing of peace that you have promised.
