Peace for an Anxious Morning

A reflection on receiving Christ's peace when the day begins with anxiety.

Morning devotional image for peace and prayer

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.

John 14:27

An anxious morning can make the whole day feel decided before it begins. Jesus offers peace that does not depend on a calm schedule.

His peace is given, not earned. It meets us before we have solved every problem or explained every fear.

Begin with a small prayer: Jesus, let your peace rule this hour, then the next one.
