A Word about Peace
In unsettled times, Isaiah reminds us of a God who keeps us in perfect peace. Not because the world has calmed, but because our minds and hearts are anchored in the Rock eternal. Tonight we reflect on the peace that steadies us in fragility.
Pause
- Begin with a gentle inhale… and exhale.
- Notice your shoulders—are they lifted or heavy? Let them drop.
- Notice your hands—open them, unclench them, breathe.
- Bring attention to your jaw—soften, release.
- As you breathe, let peace rise within. Inhale peace, exhale unrest.
- Rest in God, the Rock eternal.
Ponder
You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Trust in the Lord always,
for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
-Isaiah 26:3–4, NLT
For Your Consideration
- Notice moments of peace this year.
- Notice where peace felt absent or fragile.
- Ask God: What does it mean for me to trust You as my Rock?
Pray
God our Rock,You are steady when the ground beneath us shifts.
You hold us in perfect peace when our minds turn to You.
Anchor us in your eternal presence,
that we may trust and rest in your strength.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Practice
Go in the peace of God that steadies and sustains.May your fragile places be held in His eternal care.
May trust take root in your heart,
and may His steadfast love keep you anchored in peace.
