A prayer to pray now
Jesus, You said You would give me Your peace. Not the kind the world gives. That kind runs out fast. Yours stays even when I am scared. Even when people are unkind. Even when things go wrong, I want Your kind. The deep kind. The kind that stays steady when my stomach feels tight. Train me to know the difference. The cheap kind that fades. And the real kind that is Yours. Amen.
