Monday, July 21 — Psalm 88:1–5
Isaiah 43:22–44:23; Philippians 3:1–11
Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the Lord, and I will heal them. Isaiah 57:19
You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. Acts 10:36
Holy One, we hope for the world to be at peace, but our eyes are not veiled to the realities of the world, either. At the very least, we pray for our own peace—free from anxiety, worry, or fear—knowing that we can always rest in you. Amen.
