Jesus said ” I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”

John 14:27 NLT

Peace in the busyness
Peace in the stillness
Peace in the noise
Peace in the silence
Peace on the coast
Peace on the land
Peace in Jesus
Peace, held in his hand.

Peace in our comings
Peace in our goings
Peace always
Peace ever near
Peace in the presence
Of God drawn near.

Gracious God, we thank you for the peace we can know in your presence. Thank you for the peace of Jesus.

As we look at the picture of the artwork ‘Forget-Me-Nots’ we take a moment to reflect on the peace of God …. We pray your words of peace over the people, places and situations you have placed on our hearts.

Help us to consider how we might spread your peace in our world, in our communities and in our families with listening, with understanding, with kindness, with love and with action.  Help us to spread your peace and harmony in nature in the way we treat and care for our environment.

God of peace, may the peace of Jesus be with us. Amen
