GOD IS PEACE IN THE MIDST OF LIFE’S STORMS.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises of peace and joy. It is only by your grace that they are able to push through darkness and allow your light to continue to guide them to the path of righteousness.

Although they push through adversity and various obstacles to remain steadfast on the path of righteousness as well as keep their sanity, they sometimes miss the mark. However, because of your Son, Jesus Christ, as well as your Holy Spirit’s interaction in their lives, they are able to fight the various sources of negativity, confusion, and discourse.

Father, help all to understand that it is only by your grace that many are able to maintain their sanity and thought process, as well as fight the mental and physical pain they endure every second of the day. Moreover, help all to understand that you are the source of their freedom, healing, and restoration.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-30
