3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you. Isaiah
26:3 (NIV)
31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for
us, who can be against us? 32 He
who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not
also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against
those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus,
who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God
and is also interceding for us. 35 Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or
persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we
face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No,
in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death
nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor
any powers, 39 neither height
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from
the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans
8:31-39 (NIV)
3 The LORD
appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.”
Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV)
27 Peace I leave with you; my
peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your
hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians
4:6-7 (NIV)
6 Praise be to the LORD,
for he has heard my cry for mercy. 7 The
LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give
thanks to him in song. 8 The LORD is the strength of his people, a
fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Psalm
28:6-8 (NIV)
16 Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing
can make them stumble. Psalm
119:165 (NIV)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and
peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of
the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NIV)

peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Commend all to God, and then lie still and be
at rest in His bosom. Whatever happens,
abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God……Maintain a holy
simplicity of mind, and do not smother yourself with a host of cares, wishes,
or longings, under any pretext.” St.
