My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - /dave Branon  … AT THIS LINK     … related related that a friend had confided that the friend was having sleepless nights over the friend’s uncertainty about a difficult family problem.  And the ODB author recalled, having just studied taught in church about King David’s search for God’s peace in the midst of David’s son, Absalom, trying to take David’s throne.      

But, … just like David in Psalm 3, you and I can find God’s peace when we seek and trust our Lord, finding that peace in the truth of the Scriptures shared above.  Do you need more of God’s peace?  I do; … and hearing the linked song, I’m trusting in my God to give me HIS peace today; … are you with me?

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again today, Lord. … for giving us Your guidance and peace as we go forth today,  … Amen
