Once we have received Christ, God’s supernatural and lasting peace is fully available to us. Here are some prayers to help us experience God’s peace every day in our hearts and circumstances.

Lord, I praise you as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit. In your complex nature, you are perfect in unity and one in purpose.

Help me to forgive others. Grow my desire to strengthen the bond of peace with those I struggle to love.

As I think about your goodness and faithfulness, I know I am secure in your love.
