Peace with Jesus – Daily Devotional – April 16 , 2025

Peace with Jesus – New Christian Prayer Daily Devotional

Praising Verse

Thank you, Jesus, for your teachings that inspire kindness.
When we read about Jesus in the Bible, we see His gentle heart and loving ways. He always helped others and treated everyone with kindness. His words still speak to us today and guide our hearts. Every time we show love and kindness to someone, we reflect the light of Christ. That’s something worth thanking Him for every day.

Faith Confession

“The Lord fights for me; I need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14
This is a powerful reminder for every believer—especially for new believers in Christ. Life can be stressful. Sometimes we feel like we must fight our own battles. But God’s Word tells us something different. He goes ahead of us. He protects us. He gives us peace when we learn to be still and trust Him. This verse is a daily devotion we can hold on to when we need strength. It is a beautiful prayer for new believers to confess with faith.

Daily Bible Verse

Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is focused on You.”
This is today’s Word of God, and it gives us a beautiful promise: perfect peace. In a world that often feels chaotic, God offers peace to those who keep their thoughts on Him. This kind of peace doesn’t fade when problems arise. It stays strong, like a calm river that keeps flowing, even in the middle of a storm. If you’re a new Christian or have just started praying, this is a great verse to begin your daily devotional with.

Gospel Verse

Acts 16:31 – “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
This verse carries the core message of the gospel. It’s not about working hard to earn salvation—it’s about believing. Just believe in Jesus. His grace is free. His love is for everyone. This verse brings hope, not just for us, but for our whole family. If you’re praying for new believers or your loved ones to know Jesus, this is a promise to hold on to.


A Gentle Prayer for New Believers

My Lord Jesus,
Fill me with patience and understanding today.
Help me to walk in Your peace.
Teach me to show kindness as You have shown me.
When I feel lost or afraid, remind me that You are near.
Thank You for fighting my battles and calming my heart.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13, NKJV)

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Encouragement for New Christians

Starting your walk with Jesus is the most important step you’ll ever take. It’s okay to feel uncertain at first. Many new believers ask:

  • How do I pray?
  • How do I read the Bible?
  • What if I don’t feel strong in my faith yet?

Let me remind you: Jesus meets you where you are. He doesn’t expect perfection. He just wants your heart.

A Daily Devotion of Trust and Peace

Let’s reflect on a simple truth today: Jesus is our peace.
Peace doesn’t mean we’ll never have trouble. But it does mean we’ll never be alone in it.

Jesus said,
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” – John 14:27

That’s a verse to pray over each morning. You can even write it down as part of your daily bread from the Word of God.

How to Grow with Daily Prayer

Praying daily helps new believers stay close to God. Here are a few simple steps:

  1. Start with thanks. Thank God for His love and the new life you have in Jesus.
  2. Be honest. Talk to God about your feelings, even if they’re messy.
  3. Use Bible verses. Praying with Scripture makes your heart stronger.
  4. End with trust. Always finish your prayer by putting your day and your heart in God’s hands.

This kind of prayer for new believers builds a strong foundation. Whether you pray in the morning, at night, or in the quiet of your heart during the day, Jesus is listening.

Today’s Word of God Is for You

Let’s pause again on Isaiah 26:3:
“You will keep in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed on You.”

Peace doesn’t come from having all the answers. Peace comes from keeping your mind on Jesus. When troubles come, just whisper, “Jesus, help me.” That one line can become your new believer’s prayer. He will hear you.

A Simple Prayer for Today

Dear Jesus,
I may not know everything yet, but I want to follow You.
Please lead me step by step.
Let Your words be my strength, and Your love be my guide.
Show me how to walk in peace and truth.
Thank You for this day.
Thank You for being with me.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

Encouraging Words for Every New Believer

You are not alone. Many people are walking the same path as you. The road with Jesus is not always easy, but it is always worth it.

Here are a few truths to hold in your heart:

  • God’s love never changes.
  • Jesus is always with you.
  • The Holy Spirit will help you understand the Bible.
  • Your faith will grow stronger with time.

Each daily devotional you read or pray is like water to your soul. The more time you spend with God, the more peace and joy you’ll find. If you are praying for new believers, share this devotional with them. Sometimes, even one kind word can plant a seed of hope.

Final Encouragement: Stay in the Word

Make it your goal to spend a few minutes each day with God. Read a verse. Whisper a prayer. Sit in silence. Let His love speak to you.

And if you ever feel weak, just remember:
“The Lord fights for you. You only need to be still.” – Exodus 14:14

That’s not just a verse. It’s a promise. It’s also a daily bread for the soul.

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for welcoming me into Your family.
Thank You for Jesus, who saves and loves me.
Help me grow in faith.
Help me to forgive, love, and trust.
Please bless every new believer reading this today.
Guide us in Your truth.
Let this devotional strengthen our hearts.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.
