Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.Isaiah 26:3
Reflection
Perfect peace is the reward of a mind stayed on God. The word 'stayed' means to be supported, to rest upon, to lean upon. When your mind is leaning on God—when you're constantly bringing your thoughts back to Him—you experience a peace that guards your heart and mind. This is an active choice, not a passive feeling. Every time your mind wanders to worry, gently bring it back to trust.
Prayer
Father, help me to keep my mind stayed on You today. When worries try to take root, remind me to lean on Your faithfulness. Thank You for the perfect peace that comes from trusting in You. Amen.
