Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, this evening, I was thinking about the peace I have this evening. No, not all of my questions have been answered. If I’m being honest, I probably have more questions than I did before. What I do have is a peace that surpasses all understanding.

The devotional this evening won’t be long. I just wanted to tell God, Thank You. No matter what I face, the Lord has been there at every single turn. I am forever grateful to have known and experienced such a great love.

The song that I am hearing is one that I have heard about three times this year. I can truly say that when I’m stressed out about something or worried, there is nothing more beautiful or precious than receiving God’s peace.

There is a reason I begin every devotional the way I do. There is no greater gift I can offer than the peace that comes from the Lord. So I will end this devotional the same way I began it: May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Let Us Pray

Abba,

Thank You for Your peace. I can always tell the moment I begin to let worry and fear take over, because my peace is no longer as strong. Then I take a step back and look at the situation. It is in those moments that I realize what is missing.

Your peace.

So I gently place my cares into Your hands, and my peace returns. Thank You for never leaving me, no matter what life may look like in the moment. Help me to remember that Your peace is not determined by my circumstances, but by Your presence.

Thank You for walking beside me through every season. When life is joyful, You rejoice with me. When life is uncertain, You steady my heart. And when life feels too heavy to carry, You lovingly remind me that I was never meant to carry it alone.

Thank You for being my peace, my refuge, and my constant companion.

In the precious name of Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen, Amen, and Amen.

Greetings, Precious Family:

It is with the complete and encompassing Peace of the Lord that I write this letter to you.

I joyfully remind each of you, AND ME, that the Lord’s Peace is something that is always available to us. It is not something that comes automatically. We have to choose to accept it. When fear, trouble, trauma, bills, and even when death comes, we can still decide to accept and rest in God’s peace.

Scriptures of Peace

Philippians 4:6-7

Modern English Version

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with gratitude, make your requests known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:12-17

Modern English Version

12 So embrace, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, a spirit of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering. 13 Bear with one another and forgive one another. If anyone has a quarrel against anyone, even as Christ forgave you, so you must do. 14 And above all these things, embrace love, which is the bond of perfection.

15 Let the peace of God, to which also you are called in one body, rule in your hearts. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Family, a new season is just around the corner. If everything has seemed chaotic and out of control, God just needed to give you time to get it under control and corrected.

One thing I know for sure is that as God is preparing us for GREATER. He will not allow us to move forward if part of our life is out of order. He will be on our timetable. If it takes us one day, one month, or one year, God will not allow anything that needs to be corrected to move into our new season or “house.”

Just like preparing to move from one house to another, we may need to have garage sales, donations to charity, or just throw things way. No matter what, it’s NOT COMING to the new house.

Trust me, I’ve had to change a lot of things in my life once I realized God was not going to advance me in my old mindset. My report card was not good, and I failed a couple of life classes.

So now, I can gladly say that I have made some big changes in my life, and I am much happier, and I definitely have more peace. I still have more work to do. God is definitely STILL working on and with me.

Family, keep pushing forward. Don’t get “comfortable” in a season or mindset you were not meant to dwell in long-term.

We can do this!!!!!

Your sister,
