Every Woman's Story: PeaceSample

How does God speak peace?

Sometimes we fear that if we draw near to God, he will berate us for what we have done wrong, like a parent scolding a child. Often that’s more about the guilt we feel than what God wants to impart to us.

He doesn’t audibly speak peace to us, but he does invite us into a relationship of peace with him: part mystery, part prayer, part silence. But peace is guaranteed. If you want to hear someone clearly, it may take your full attention.

It’s no different with God. He wants our full attention, too. You will be amazed at the peace that comes from turning your heart and mind to him alone, even for five minutes.

Act

Set a timer for five minutes, and just sit quietly with God.

Pray

God, I want you to speak peace over my life this way. Meet me in the silence. Amen.
