FINDING PEACE IN GOD’S PRESENCE (3)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: SUNDAY, 24 SEPTEMBER 2023
So, beloved, as we spend time with the Lord in the designated place of prayer, we begin to meditate on the Scriptures. You see, the Bible is a source of profound wisdom and comfort. Choose a verse or passage that speaks to you, like Psalm 23, which declares, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” As you meditate on God’s Word, allow it to permeate your thoughts and fill your heart with the assurance of His presence. Then begin to pray. Pray with thanksgiving, bringing your requests to God. Express your gratitude for the many blessings in your life. Thank God for His presence, His love, and promise of peace.
Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Then, as you pray and meditate, listen in silence. Often, we talk to God in prayer but forget to listen. Take time to sit in silence, waiting for His still, small voice. God may speak to you through a gentle impression, a thought, or a feeling of peace. Just be open to receiving His guidance and comfort. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Finding peace in God’s presence is a journey that requires intention and practice. It’s about making time for Him in your daily life, seeking Him with a sincere heart, and trusting in His unfailing love.
RESPONSIBILITY: As you cultivate this relationship with God, you will discover a peace that transcends circumstances and a presence that will always be with you, offering comfort and hope in every season of life.
PRAYER: Oh God, help our lives. Give us Your peace in Your presence, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As we come into the presence of God in prayer, may we find true and lasting peace, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Psalm 23, Philippians 4:6-7
