0808 我是和平之君
我是和平之君。当你让我成为主宰你每一个思想意念的王时，我便能掌管一切压力与纷扰。当你俯伏在我面前，把你的思想、灵魂和身体都降服于我时，我便能使一切事物和谐共存；焦虑与平安无法共存。
虽然你忙碌的思绪常常在不知不觉中把我推开，但我知道你的心仍然渴慕我。不要忧虑，我亲爱的，我总会回应每一颗来就近我的心灵。将我高举，使我超越刻在你心中的忧虑，以此来彰显我的同在。你有足够的能力来选择自己要思想什么。把你的忧虑放在祭坛上，当作赞美的祭献给我；把它们交给我；把你一切挂虑放在我威严的脚前，让它们降服于那奔流在你血管里的荣耀之下。呼求我的名，唱出你爱我的诗歌，深深沉浸在我平安的宁静之中。把你所有的忧虑都交在我的手里，如果有必要，你就一一把它们说出来；然后相信我会照料它们，让我成为你心中唯一的所思所想。
我把平安这份礼物留给你们——我的平安。不是世人所给的那种脆弱的平安，而是我完全的平安。不要向惧怕屈服，也不要让你们的心里烦恼；相反地，要刚强壮胆！——约翰福音 14:27
0808 I am the Prince of Peace
I am the Prince of Peace. I rule and reign over stress and turmoil when you set me as the King over your every thought. I hold everything together in perfect harmony when you bow before me and yield to me–mind, soul, and body. Anxiety and peace cannot coexist.
Though your busy mind unwittingly pushes me away, I know your heart yearns for me. Don’t fret, my beloved. I always respond to hearts that reach for me. Exalt my presence by lifting me higher than the cares that plague your mind. You are powerful enough to choose what you think about. Offer me the sacrifice of praise by placing your cares on the altar. Give them to me. Lay your concerns at the feet of my majesty. Make them submit to the glory that rushes through your veins. Say my name. Sing your songs of love. Sink deep into the stillness of my peace. Leave every single care in my hands. Name each one if you must; then trust me to take care of them. Let me be the only thought that consumes you.
I leave the gift of peace with you–my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts–instead, be courageous! –JOHN 14:27
