The Peace of God Day 19
Lord, You will establish peace for us, for You have done all our works in us. Isaiah 26:12
Gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to protect and nurture the peace God gives us. When we fix our hearts on thankfulness, we shift our focus from what we lack to what we already have. Isaiah 26:12 reminds us that every good thing we experience—peace, success, and provision—comes from God. He is the source of all blessings, and it is by His grace that we prosper.
Life has a way of tempting us to dwell on unmet needs, unfulfilled dreams, or unanswered prayers. Yet, when we choose gratitude, we guard our hearts against discontent and protect the peace God has promised us. Imagine this: A grateful heart cannot simultaneously be consumed by worry or resentment. Gratitude creates room for peace to flourish.
In fasting, we give up something physical to gain something spiritual. Today, let your offering be a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Thank God for His peace that surpasses understanding. Thank Him for providing for your needs, for giving you strength to face challenges, and for working all things together for your good. A peaceful life doesn’t just happen; it’s cultivated through our actions. Are you choosing to trust, believe and hold onto the Word of God?

As you cultivate gratitude, you will find His peace guarding your heart and mind, just as He promised.
Prayer for today: Lord, Lord, we thank You for all You’ve done and all You continue to do in our lives. Thank You for establishing peace for us and for every blessing we have received from Your hand. Help us to cultivate hearts of gratitude, even in times of lack or uncertainty. May we learn to focus on what You have given us rather than what we do not have. Let our thanksgiving be a shield that protects the peace You’ve promised us. We give You all the glory and honor, acknowledging that all we accomplish is because of Your grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
