Advent Day One: Prince of Peace

Today begins this journey of advent and although I'm exhausted I am really excited to spend more time with Jesus and deepen my relationship with Him.

Prince of Peace. What a great reminder during what can be a hectic and chaotic time of the year and the verses for today are some of my favourites.

Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

We are promised peace in Him who is the Prince of Peace. I pray that this month when the pressures of this world and the commercialism of the season start to stress us out, that we would find peace in Him who is peace.

DearJesus,
Thank You for being the Prince of Peace in our lives, for being the calm during the storm and the stronghold during the hurricane. When life is too much to handle and when the stresses of this life are weighing us down, may when run to You to find peace. Amen.
