Devotion

“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly
life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory
and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and
precious promises, so that through them you may participate in
the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world
caused by evil desires” (2 Peter 1:3-4).

Describe a time in your life you felt peaceful. A time no stress
weighed you down, no urgent tasks nipped at your heels.
What was that like…and how long has it been?
Write or draw a description of that time below.

And a second question for your consideration: Did you have a sense
of peace because of what was temporarily missing from your life (stress,

for instance) or because there was something temporarily added to your
life?
Jot your thoughts below.
