Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. 2 Thessalonians 3:16
What an amazing prayer promise to give to someone.
God will give you peace. At all times. In every way.
I think of the song, “it is well with my soul.”
When peace like a river ascended my way, when sorrow like sea billows roll.
Whatever my lot, thou has caused me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.
The song is smooth and peaceful.
It is assuring to us who listen and to others who sing.
The song is a promise of protection. The verse is an encouragement.
May the Lord of peace, NOT the Lord of chaos or confusion. But peace.
We receive the peace that passes all understanding when we reach our hands out to accept, what HE has to offer.
When I was doing treatment for cancer recovery, I remember feeling calm and peaceful.
I didn’t feel the anxiety till much later after the process was over.
It felt well with my soul, for I knew there was nothing I could do within myself to heal quicker.
I had to trust the process. I had to trust the one who heals on all levels.
Not a day goes by that I do not remain very thankful and fully, sure that God was with me.
The process was new. a little scary but I was ok. It imprinted itself on my mind, heart and spirit.
My soul was well, and in peace.
There were some unknowns but nothing is without a reason and just recently I was able to share with a new ‘survivor’ about my experince and story. Nothing comes to us without a purpose.
I was able to encourage her and explain to her what she could be feeling right now.
It was a positive thing.
I will continue to be open to those who need ‘my story.’
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.
