Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid. -John 14:17

This simple prayer has words to encourage you today, 161 years after they were first published:

Prince of Peace, control my will.
Bid my struggling heart be still.
Bid my fears and doubts to cease.
Hush my spirit into peace.
May Thy will, not mine, be done.
May Thy will and mine be one.
Chase these doubtings from my heart.
Now Thy perfect peace impart.

Peace is elusive in our world today. Yet we can always have the Prince of Peace with us. He gives us His perfect peace. So do not let your heart be troubled. Ask God in Christ for His peace to live in your heart today.

God so loved the world
that He gave His only genetic Son.
