For many years, this song has been my prayer whenever anxiety creeps up on me:
“Peace, peace,
Wonderful peace
Coming down from the Father above.
Sweep over my spirit
Forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.”
Whenever I feel anxious or overwhelmed, I take a deep breath, step away, and sing these few words.
· Slowly.
· Meditatively.
· Prayerfully.
In supernatural ways, God—the source of all Peace—calms my spirit and soothes my soul.
Everything around me might stay the same, but I am changed as my mind and my heart focus on my Heavenly Father. As I envision Him sitting on His throne, I sense Him speaking “Peace” into my situation. My heaviness lifts, my shoulders ease up, and my tense muscles relax.
Peace, peace, wonderful peace.
· When the kids are all screaming in the car.
· When my work is piling up on my desk.
· When my house looks like a tornado hit.
Peace, peace, wonderful peace.
Peace that only He can give (John 14:27). Peace that flows as I trust in Him (Isaiah 26:3). Peace at all times and in every way (2 Thessalonians 3:16).
Jesus—He is my peace (Ephesians 2:14).
