Lent 2018 - Red Letters - Day 23 - John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage. -- John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage. -- John 14:27

When Jesus, prince of peace, became lord of my life, did his peace gain full reign? The peace which is beyond all my understanding is a promise of courage. No more distress. Today as I face the many challenges within, I need it more and more. 

Prayer: Jesus, give me your peace. I surrender my heart to the reign of your peace. Help me consider the challenges I face with serenity of knowing you will help me through them at all times. Give me courage to act boldly and decisively, not paralyzed by thoughts of consequences.
