Shalom

 Shalom


Finances, bills, work, diseases, 
strained relationships, frustrations, news 
and whatever else, you name it. 
Anxious thoughts fly around in my mind
like the missiles in the middle east
perhaps in your mind too.
I try to look for peace
positive thinking
planning
......     to no avail.

But in praying to the One who is in Control
Who knows me
Who sees me
and you too
He hides me under His wings
and The Divine Iron Dome shoots down
all my anxious-missile thoughts
I receive peace 
Peace that passes the world's understanding
Peace despite the circumstances

The Prince of Peace
Jesus Messiah
the true and only source of peace
lasting peace
peace despite the trials and troubles


John 14:27
Peace I leave with you
My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you
let not your heart be troubled, 
neither let it be afraid
