So be at peace,
And do not live in fear,
For I am your God,
And I am for you.
I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name.
You are mine.
When you pass through the deep waters of life,
You will not be overtaken,
For I am with you.
And when you walk through the fires,
You will not be consumed,
For I am the Lord your God,
Your Savior,
And you are my beloved.
The thoughts and the plans that I have for you are for peace,
Plans to give you hope and a future.
So come,
Come to me,
Call upon me,
Pray to me,
And I will listen to you as you open your heart,
For I am here for you always.
I lay my fear at your feet,
And you give me the gift of your peace.
This burden from me,
May the gift of your peace.
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or discouraged,
Regardless of what life may look like,
Of what you may see.
For I,
The Lord your God,
Am with you wherever you go,
And I will strengthen you,
And I will help you,
And I will raise you up.
With my right hand,
I will hold you and guide you.
And the Counselor,
The Holy Spirit,
Whom the Father sends to you in my name,
Will teach you all things,
And will remind you of all that I have said to you.
So peace I leave with you.
My peace I give to you,
Not as the world gives.
So do not let your heart be troubled,
Neither let it be fearful.
Trust in me with all your heart.
Do not rely on your own understanding.
Seek my desires for you,
And I will make your way straight.
Take my fear at your feet,
And you give me the gift of your peace.
Take this burden from me,
And may the gift of your peace.
Take my fear and give me faith.
Take my doubt and give me trust.
In your presence I receive your peace.
Take my fear and give me faith.
Take my doubt and give me trust.
In your presence I receive your peace.
My fear at your feet.
