I'll listen, because God speaks peace.

A Bible affirmation for peace, rooted in Psalm 85:8.

I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

Psalm 85:8 · BSB

Reflection

The psalmist decides to listen to what God will say, and expects it to be peace. Plenty of voices compete for your attention. God's voice, when you make room to hear it, speaks peace.

A prayer

Lord, quiet the other voices. I'm listening for Your peace.
