PROMISE 15- GREAT PEACE

PROMISE 15- GREAT PEACE

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children. - Isaiah 54:13

Peace is calmness of mind and heart. It may not mean a life free from stress, but it certainly means maintaining a tranquil attitude even in the midst of traumatic circumstances. Jesus is called “the Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6). When He’s invited to reign in a person’s heart, He brings many gifts, including peace. He promised His followers, “My peace I give to you…Let not your heart be troubled” (John 14:27). In our key passage God promises an overflow of His peace into the lives of our offspring. This means much more than just human emotion. The Bible describes it as “peace…in the Holy Spirit”(Rom. 14:17) and “The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding”(Phil 4:7). No wonder Isaiah 54:13 calls it “great” peace. In a strife-filled world, how needed is this pledge from the lips of the Almighty!

PRAYER DECLARATION-

Lord ,I believe as Your Word promises, that You will extend peace to me “like a river” (Isa. 66:12) and that this peace will flow over the soul of my child as well, I pray that Joshua will be preserved from the things that can create stress, strife, and anxiety in our hearts. May Josh always maintain “peace with God” (Rom. 5:0), a harmonious relationship with You, and may the “peace” of God” (Phil 4:7) always abide within him. Your Word declares that You are the God of peace. I pray that Josh will so completely yield to Your peaceful nature that he/she even becomes a means of passing this wonderful gift on to others—fulfilling the call to be a “peacemaker” in the earth (Matt 5:9). In the name of Jesus, amen (LET IT BE SO)!
