May 26           Isaiah 26:3

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
 

  1. Perfect Peace Is God’s Gift – Peace that is whole and complete comes only from God, not from our surroundings.
  2. The Mind Anchored on God – When our thoughts dwell on God’s character and promises, we are steadied.
  3. Trust as the Foundation – Peace flows from deep trust in God’s wisdom and control.
  4. Consistency Is Key – Remaining focused on God continually is what protects us from inner turmoil.

Peace That Holds
The storm may howl, the dark may stay,
But peace stands strong, it does not sway.
A quiet heart, a steady soul,
God’s calmness wraps and makes us whole.
He keeps us still, though winds may roar.

When I lean close and lift my eyes,
The weight of fear no longer lies.
His presence holds, His promise speaks,
Through all the nights and wearied weeks.
The path is firm beneath my feet.

Peace is not the lack of strife,
But God’s own breath poured into life.
The world may shift and pull apart,
But peace remains within the heart.
The stillness speaks of holy rest.

I choose to trust, and set my mind,
On One who’s good, and strong, and kind.
My thoughts are drawn to all He’s done,
And peace flows deep like morning sun.
He guards my life, both now and more.
