We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.

Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.

As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.

Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

- 2 Corinthians 5:18

There's something beautiful that happens when you realize you're not carrying your burdens alone. The weight doesn't necessarily disappear, but somehow it becomes manageable. This is the peace that Jesus brings—not the absence of problems, but His presence in the midst of them. Peace and gratitude are intimately connected. When anxiety grips your heart, gratitude feels forced and fake. But when peace settles in your soul through recognizing Jesus' presence, gratitude flows naturally. It's not something you have to manufacture; it's the organic response to experiencing His grace. Think about the most peaceful moments in your life. Weren't they often accompanied by a deep sense of thankfulness? That's because peace creates space in your heart for gratitude to grow. When you're not consumed with worry about tomorrow or regret about yesterday, you can actually see the goodness of God in your today. Jesus doesn't promise to remove every storm from your life, but He promises to be your peace in every storm. When you anchor your heart in this truth, something shifts. The circumstances may remain the same, but your response changes completely. This isn't about positive thinking or mind-over-matter. This is about recognizing that the Prince of Peace is actively present in your situation, working all things together for your good and His glory. When you truly believe this, peace isn't just possible—it's inevitable.

Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!

I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

-Psalm 119:11
