Bible Verses About Peace

In the Bible, peace means far more than quiet. The Hebrew word shalom carries the idea of wholeness, of everything being as it should be with God, with others and within ourselves. These Bible verses about peace trace that gift from beginning to end. Isaiah promises perfect peace to the mind that is stayed on God. The ancient priestly blessing asks the LORD to lift up his countenance upon us and give us peace. Jesus, on the night before the cross, told his friends, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you,” a peace the world cannot give or take away. Paul adds that the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds. Scroll through these scriptures when your thoughts are racing, before you sleep or in the middle of conflict. Breathe slowly, read each one twice, and let God’s peace settle in.
