FINDING PEACE IN GOD’S PRESENCE (2)

TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org

DATE: SATURDAY, 23 SEPTEMBER 2023

So, beloved, it was established yesterday that a great way to finding peace in God’s presence is “being still.” Yes, it’s true. However, being still is not just to be physically quiet in God’s presence, but we also need to “quiet our minds and hearts.” Though it can be challenging to achieve this feat in a world filled with noise and distraction, but it’s fulfilling. Hear what the Psalmist said in 131:2, he said,

Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: “But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.” — Psalm 131:2 (NIV)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: So, this is how we go about it. We create a sacred place and dedicate it for prayer and reflection. This can be a quiet corner of our home, a peaceful garden, or even a comfortable chair. We take a few moments to consciously release our worries and fears to God. Imagine placing them in God’s loving hands and allow ourselves to breathe deeply and find stillness within. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: By designating a sacred space, you create a physical reminder of your commitment to seeking God’s presence and peace.

RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, let us as matter of urgency, create a sacred place for prayer and reflection and seek the presence of God therein.

PRAYER: Oh God, help our lives. Guide us to do all we can to find peace in You, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

PROPHETIC WORD: May we find true and lasting peace as we dwell in God’s presence, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

BIBLE TEXTS: Psalm 131:2
