Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Devotional Message
God is the ultimate and only true source of lasting peace—the type of peace that covers all areas of life, from emotional to spiritual to relational. His peace is our foundation for handling life’s greatest challenges, and the beautiful truth is that it is both a present reality and an ongoing blessing, one that is a gift from God available at all times.
Even when we are going through the storms of life—financial burdens, relational issues, health challenges, lifestyle changes, seasons of grieving—we can still envelop ourselves in the peace that God has bestowed upon us. But the only way to receive this gift that can fortify our mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational health is simply to connect to God’s presence. For it is in that sacred space only, when we return back to Him and trust that He is with us at every moment of our lives, that we experience that long exhale of peace that quietly whispers, ‘I am not alone. All is well. God is guiding me.’
The key here is to not wait for those moments of deep pain and suffering to realize this gift is available to us. Each time we think about God, pray to Him, seek Him, or thank Him, we naturally fill our hearts with peace that empowers us to not only handle life’s challenges and disorders, but to embrace the joyful moments in the deepest, most meaningful way. Divine peace becomes our constant companion, transforming both our struggles and our celebrations.
Let’s Pray
Dear God, today I ask you to fill every area of my life with peace. Thank you for offering this gift to me so abundantly, and making it available to me even when I don’t realize it. I desire this divine peace that transcends my circumstances and situations, and today I commit to seeking You rather than worldly substitutes, trusting that your presence is what brings me peace.
When storms arise in my life—whether financial, relational, health-related, or emotional—remind me to return to you and connect with your presence. Let your divine peace be my constant companion, empowering me to handle life’s challenges and embrace its joys in the deepest, most meaningful way. Amen.
