You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in You.
— Isaiah 26:3 (NIV)

Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Rev. Sandra Jones

A thought to ponder:

From the creation of the human race, there has been conflicts, beginning with the first and GREATEST institution, The Family: Whether it is against father and mother, or sibling against sibling, neighbor against neighbor, or nation against nation.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Creator of the heavens and the earth; how excellent is Your name. You are the sweet Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley, and the Bright and Morning Star.

We rise this morning to give thanks to You for enabling us to see another beautiful day. We acknowledge that all good gifts come from You, and we do not take lightly the many blessings You have bestowed upon us. We pray each day that we live a life that pleases You; that the glory of God continues to shine upon us, and the world may see and are drawn to You.

Father, may we live in harmony with those around us, to love, and to be kind one to another. Finally, according to Your Word, You would keep us in perfect peace as long as we keep our eyes upon You. Cause us to see each other as you see us; this we pray in the name of Jesus. 

Amen.
