"I Desire Perfect Peace" by Angela Overton.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3)

Do you know those nights? The kind of night when tears hit your pillow as life overwhelms you or the nights you toss back and forth. Sometimes, we miss the nudge from God and think that all we need to sleep well is a comfortable position, but what we need is His peace.
    

Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27. 

Jesus has left us peace. The peace of God is not a worldly peace that comes from perfect circumstances, a robust savings account, or a world void of disease. His perfect peace is supernatural and flows from the throne room of God. When your life is being shaken, when your faith is tested, when you are grieving, there is hope.

Just recently someone said to me, “Life is so uncertain.” Yes, that can be true, I responded. However, with all the uncertainties of this world we serve a God who changes not (Malachi 3:6) and who is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

There is perfect peace that can pass your comprehension (Philippians 4:7) and every fear and stress has to submit to the authority of God. Seek God’s perfect peace today and know that His promises are forever settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89).
