The Prince of Peace For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called… The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 KJV And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14 NKJV The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace. Psalm 29:11 NKJV Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 NKJV Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of Jesus. Peace is not circumstantial, but relational. Peace is not based on what is going on around you, but on Who is living in you. Jesus did not come into your heart to bring you worry, anxiety or restlessness. He came to give you rest. His peace will guard your thoughts from worry and keep your heart from fear. Drop thy still dews of quietness till all our striving cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy Peace. -John Greenleaf Whittier
