Prayers for Day Twelve
The prophet Isaiah promises: “You keep him in
perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust
in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an
everlasting rock.” (26:3-4)
Perfect peace.
The Hebrew word for perfect peace is “shalowm”…a peace where everything
with God is as it should be. It is a
state where we are brought back into the original relationships that God
intended. It is the Garden of Eden but, because of
Christ, even better.
We are kept in that state of perfect peace by
keeping our mind “stayed” on the Lord.
We are committing our thoughts, our attitudes, our inclinations to the
Lord. We are trusting in Him to be that solid
rock who guarantees our future. We can
put all our weight on Him because he is strong enough to support it.
Commit to praying the following prayers for your sons
or grandsons today.
