Today Devotion: True Peace Comes from Jesus
Praising Verse
Thank you, Jesus, for protecting me from harm.
In today devotion, we begin with a heart of gratitude. Sometimes we don’t even realize the dangers God has protected us from. On the road, at home, while we sleep — His angels are always watching over us.
Let us pause and say: “Thank you, Jesus, for protecting me from harm.”
He is our faithful Shepherd. He goes before us to make a way. He walks beside us to guide us. He stays behind us to cover us. What a loving and powerful Lord we serve!
Faith Confession
The Lord is my refuge and strength, my present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)
This verse is the foundation of our today devotion. When we feel weak, God is our strength. When we face hard times, God is our place of safety. He is not a distant God. He is present. Right now. Right here.
Say this with faith:
“My Lord is my refuge. My Lord is my strength. I will not fear because my Lord is with me.”
In every season — joyful or painful — He is our unshakable support. Let’s trust Him completely.
Daily Bible Verse
Hebrews 12:14 – “Pursue peace with everyone [live in harmony with them], and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”
Today devotion teaches us that peace and holiness are key to living a life that pleases God.
Peace doesn’t always come easy. It might mean letting go of pride. It might mean forgiving again and again. But Jesus says pursue peace — don’t wait for it, go after it.
Holiness is walking closely with God, choosing His way over the world’s way. When we walk in peace and holiness, we walk in the light.
Ask yourself during this today devotion:
- Am I living in peace with the people around me?
- Am I walking in holiness before my Lord?
God can help us take a step toward both today.
Gospel Verse
Romans 5:8 – “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
This is the heart of the gospel. In this today devotion, reflect on the powerful truth:
Jesus died for us when we were still sinners.
He didn’t wait for us to be perfect. He didn’t ask us to earn His love. He loved us first — fully and freely.
Let this truth comfort your heart:
“I am loved. I am forgiven. I am not alone. Christ died for me, and I now live for Him.”
That’s what grace is — receiving what we don’t deserve. That’s what the gospel is — good news for everyone.

This is what it means to follow Jesus daily. This is what it means to grow in faith.

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.
