Daily Inspiration, Scripture, Meditation and Prayer
January 5

There is a purpose for our trials and burdens just as there is a purpose for the joys and wonders in our lives. Lord, grant me Your peace as Your plan for me unfolds.

Scripture for the Day
"May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers.' For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say, 'Peace be within you.' For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good." — Psalm 122:6-9

Meditation for the Day
I believe that God's presence can bring peace and that peace, like a quiet-flowing river, can cleanse all irritants away. In these quiet times, God can teach me how to rest my nerves. I need not be afraid. I can learn how to relax. When I am relaxed, God's strength can flow into me. I can be at peace.

Prayer for the Day
I pray for that peace which passes all understanding. I pray for that peace which the world can neither give nor take away.
