Day 16 of Lent – Inner Peace
As we journey through Lent, we are reminded that true peace comes from God. In a world filled with distractions, fears, and uncertainties, the peace that Jesus offers is steadfast and unwavering. It is not based on external circumstances but rooted in His love and promises. Today, take a moment to quiet your heart and reflect on areas of your life where you need God’s peace. Surrender your worries to Him and trust in His guidance.
Prayer: Gracious Lord, Thank You for the gift of Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Help me to trust in You and rest in Your presence, especially when my heart feels troubled. Teach me to seek Your peace in every moment and to let go of the burdens that weigh me down. May Your Spirit guide me toward serenity and remind me of Your constant care.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
