Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You that Your peace is my covenant right in Christ Jesus. I will keep my mind fixed on You Lord and trust in You and You will keep me in perfect peace.
I will not fret or have anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, I will continue to make my wants known to You, Father. And Your peace, which transcends all understanding, shall garrison and mount guard over my mind and heart in Christ Jesus. I fix my mind only on that which is worthy of reverence, honorable, just, pure, lovely, kind and gracious. If there is anything worthy of praise, I will think on and weigh and take account only of these things.
I will let the peace of God rule in my heart. As I do, I believe that my calm and undisturbed heart and mind are life and health to my physical body. I humble myself under the mighty hand of God, casting all of my concerns and anxieties on Him once and for all, because I know that He cares for me affectionately.
I thank You, Father, that You have not given me a spirit of timidity, of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear. The spirit I have of You is of power and love and of a calm and well balanced mind, of discipline and self control. You, Lord, are on my side; I will not fear. What can men do to me? You, Lord, are my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear or dread? You, Lord, are the refuge and stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? I love Your law, 0 Lord; nothing shall offend me or make me stumble; I walk in great peace, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

A profound and beautiful prayer. Thank you for posting that. Nice photo too.

Hey Alesia,
Just an FYI on John Piper, in case you weren't aware. In my research on another subject/pastor, I came across Piper and found that he adheres to Replacement Theology. Kathy had posted something about him, too, and I mentioned it to her, so I figured I'd do the same for you. Not that he doesn't have anything useful or truthful to share, but just keep that in mind when reading his material. I never heard of replacement theology until last year, but now that I know what it is, I can clearly see that my Methodist upbringing never touched on God's promise to His original people (Jews) and I therefore figured that they were only important as far as the OT goes. I was never taught to be anti-Semitic, but the evidence of that seeps in when one believes that God is finished with the Jews. Just proceed with caution.
Blessings,
Jen
Hi Alesia!
This is Grace!
I had a terrible computer crash last week and am trying to recover all of my favorites, etc. I have found a few of you but cannot figure out how to be able to see Hyde's stuff.
How can I get this info without devulging it to others?
I can give you my email address if we delete the comment right away.
Let me know what I can do.
Thanks! How is the job going? I sure appreciate all of your level headedness and loving attitude on there!
Grace
Hi Grace,
Sorry to hear about the crash.
Go to my profile, my email is there. Send me an email & I'll send you the address.
Thanks, you are too kind!
Alesia!
I loved your prayer here today. I really need to pray that God would make this so in my life. For us, it has been one stuggle after another and I really just want it to stop.
If He did, what lessons and eternal reaping would I miss out on?
Thanks for the link! I honestly was more concerned about that than most of the other stuff.
God's richest blessings to you my sister!
Grace
