My Go to Scriptures on Peace.
- Isaiah 26:3 ESV You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts inYou.
There have been many times that I have used this verse to get me through turmoil. God will and has kept me in perfect peace when my mind is/was focused on Him and I trusted Him. I often prayed to God that He would help me to keep my mind on Him. He was always faithful. It is not easy to keep one’s mind on God when in the midst of trouble. However, it is the only way to get to the other side. God is greater than any problem that I ever face.
- Romans 12:18 ESV If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
This verse speaks to me about my responsibility to others. I am to strive to live at peace with everyone and recognize when it is not possible. There will be times when I have to walk away and leave it in God’s hands. Again, I am responsible for my part in any relationship.
- Philippians 4:6-8 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
In order to achieve the peace that passes all understanding, I am to pray to God when I am anxious. I am to make everything known to God by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Then the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard my heart and mind. Therefore, when I am facing any hardship all I need to do is turn to God in prayer and give Him thanks for the answers. God will give me His peace that only He can give.

One of my favorites is Psalm 27:14, “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.” It reminds me that He is fighting for me and that I can have His peace knowing all things not only come to fruition in His time, but for my eternal good, too! Blessings!
