Peace Be Still…


✨ Peace Be Still

Key Scriptures

  • Isaiah 26:3 – “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
  • Psalm 119:165 – “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”
  • Proverbs 16:7 – “When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.”

Devotional

I met a young lady who had been facing intense spiritual warfare and persecution after she had a powerful encounter with Jesus Christ. Her testimony reminded me of 2 Thessalonians 1:4–5, which tells us that the trials and persecutions we endure are a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God.

In other words, the very fact that she was under attack was proof that she belonged to Christ, and that her life was now evidence of His righteousness. The enemy—the devil—will always use schemes, agents, and spiritual attacks against the emotions, mind, and will of God’s children to steal their peace and try to take control.

But peace is our inheritance in Christ. The key is learning spiritual warfare—not through fear, but by standing strong in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–18) and using the spiritual weapons He has given us.

Reflection

Peace doesn’t mean the absence of conflict—it means the presence of God in the middle of conflict.

  • Isaiah 26:3 reminds us that peace comes when our mind is stayed on God.
  • Psalm 119:165 teaches us that loving God’s Word shields us from offense and traps.
  • Proverbs 16:7 gives us hope that even enemies cannot touch us when our ways please the Lord.

So when the warfare rages, the key is not to look at the storm but to look at Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who speaks: “Peace, be still.”

Prayer

“Lord, You are my peace. Help me to call on You during the chaos and noise. When the enemy tries to steal my peace, remind me of Your promises. I declare Psalm 29:11 over my life: ‘The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.’

Keep my mind stayed on You, help me to love Your Word deeply, and cause even my enemies to be at peace with me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Prayers for Strength and protection in the face of Persecution


Prayers for Strength and Protection in Times of Persecution

All over the world, Christians are being persecuted for their faith. The Bible told us this would happen, but it also promises that God will strengthen us, provide for us, and reward us if we remain faithful.

And not only that but 2 Thessalonians 1:2-5 confirms that if we face persecution and tribulation it is because God has already judged us righteous. So persecution is a manifest token of that righteous judgement. This happened to Jesus also and when we walk with Him we have to take up cross and walk with it learning warfare, and pray without ceasing.



When the attacks come—whether it’s persecution, witchcraft, intimidation, or rejection—we must stand on the Word of God and pray His promises back to Him.

Here are prayers you can use, with scripture, for strength, discernment, provision, and protection.

🙏 Prayer for Strength

Scripture: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13)
Prayer:
Lord, strengthen my heart and body to endure the trials before me. I declare that my weakness is made perfect in Your strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). I will not faint, for You are the strength of my life (Psalm 27:1).

🙏 Prayer for Discernment

Scripture: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God.” (1 John 4:1)
Prayer:
Father, give me eyes to see and ears to hear. Expose every lie and counterfeit around me. Lead me into all truth by Your Holy Spirit (John 16:13). Help me to discern good from evil and to follow Your voice only.

🙏 Prayer for Strong Backs and Endurance

Scripture: “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.” (James 1:12)
Prayer:
Lord, make my back strong to carry the cross You’ve called me to bear. Let me not grow weary in well-doing (Galatians 6:9). Strengthen me to endure, and keep my eyes on the crown of life You’ve promised.

🙏 Prayer for Provision

Scripture: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
Prayer:
Jehovah Jireh, my Provider, I trust You to meet every need. Protect me from lack and from fear of lack. Provide bread for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and resources for every believer standing firm in persecution.

🙏 Prayer for a Wall of Fire Protection

Scripture: “For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.” (Zechariah 2:5)
Prayer:
Lord, surround me and all persecuted believers with Your wall of fire. Let every demonic arrow be burned up before it reaches us. Be the glory in our midst, keeping us safe in body, spirit, and mind.

🙏 Final Encouragement

Remember: the trials you face are not in vain. The Bible says in Revelation 2:10:
“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”

And when the Chief Shepherd returns, “you will receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away” (1 Peter 5:4).

Stay strong, believer. Receive your crown.
