Dear God,

Peace.  What we need is peace.  What I need is peace.

The television, social media, and many national and international leaders are not providing us peace.  They give us more and more cause to join the frenzy of angry people.

Where does our peace come from?  It does not come from outside; it comes from inside, that, soft tender spot where our maker birthed us.  Only there can we drink in peace, can we eat from the table of peace, can we breathe in peace.  Only there.  Only there.

You are
our peacemaker,
Lord;
you make us
sacred places
where we
can meet peace.
In every situation
in life,
you give us opportunity
for peace,
the sweet peace
of heaven.
Draw us near
to peace,
O Lord,
where we
may eat,
drink, and rest
in peace.

Love, Andrea
