You will keep perfectly peaceful the one whose mind remains focused on you, because he remains in you”. Isaiah 26:3 (ISV)

There is a place of peace in the heart of Jesus, available to us all, for Jesus Himself is the Prince of Peace. He promises no matter the situation or the circumstance, the problem or the pain, if you keep your mind and thoughts fixed on Him—with your eyes turned towards Him—looking away from all that is wrong and looking fully to the One Who will make everything right—you will find that place of peace. And once found, no one can take it from you.
 
Dear heart, hold on to what is true—for He is truth. Let everything else, the lack and the lies, fade away. Place yourself in His care, and place all you care about in Him, too. Tuck your life up safe in Him, abide there and remain. Then let His life remain in you.
 
Peace, precious one, abiding Peace, is present always, right there with you. The more you let go and trust, the more you will see!

Prayer:
 
Jesus, You know how my mind can wonder and worry, away from the peace You have promised. Away from the comforting thoughts of You. You are my living hope, my mind and my heart, are safe and secure—stronger and at rest—when they are fixed on You.
 
Lead me back Holy Spirit today, in all the ways and places I have wandered, to that place of abiding peace. Let me be centred in the restoring love of the Prince of Peace. The One Who holds all things together in His strong and grace-filled hands.
 
Eternal, invisible and invincible God, all glory belongs to You!
