Heavenly Father,
In this second week of Advent, I know the focus is on the word "Peace" but honestly, my heart doesn't feel very peaceful right now. I'm being pulled in many directions, and my heart feels very unsettled.
I know that the peace the angels spoke of (“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”- Luke 2:14) isn't about horizontal earthy peace, but about the vertical peace we have with you... but I really wish there was horizontal earthy peace right now.
Lord, help me rest in the peace Jesus brought when he came as a baby, a peace in my relationship with you. I am so thankful that I am no longer at war with you because Jesus has covered all my sin. May this peace sink down so deep in my heart that I become an agent of peace in this world.
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Amen.
