Peace

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:9

Peace is a state of harmony where we have no fear of harm that could come from any person, place, or thing. It represents the absence of worry, foreboding, or anxious apprehension while imagining what could happen. Peace is the confident expectation that God, who alone rules and reigns, is in control and that He watches over our souls, even in the presence of danger. Peace is complete confidence in the omnipotent God as our protector, deliverer, and restorer.

With this confidence, we can lie down and sleep peacefully. We know that our enemies will not triumph over us because we have trust in God, which He so richly deserves. Nothing, no person, government, or power is greater than He is. God is sovereign and possesses all authority over heaven and earth.

I dwell in safety with peace because God is my refuge and fortress. He is a very present help in trouble.
