How to Have Peace

We often pray for each other to have the peace of God. I don't think that is a bad thing to do but it is not really a command in the Bible. The only scripture I could find about praying for peace is Psalm 122:6 "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you."

A lot of scriptures tell us how we can obtain the peace that Jesus has already given us. Here is a few of theses verses:

• My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments: For length of days and long life, and peace, shall they add to you. Proverbs 3: 1-2

• You (God) will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You: because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3

• And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. Isaiah 32:17

• For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6 carnal mind= death spiritual mind=life and peace!

• Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 2 Peter 1:2 We have peace through knowledge!

I am so thankful that we can have peace. We don't have to wait or just hope that we will have it today. We can have it everyday because Jesus has already given it to us. And we have God's Word to tell us how to obtain those promises.
