Advent - The PEACE of Christ

Lord, grant us your peace that surpasses understanding. In this world you have promised that we will face trouble, yet you offer hope and peace because you have overcome the world. Let my faith be a refuge from this world as I seek the peace that can only be found in you. Quiet mind so that I may be still and know that you are the Everlasting God and Prince of Peace. Calm my quarrelsome heart so that I can live at peace with those around me and love my neighbor as you have instructed. Let me abide within your presence so that I can become more like you.

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
