That strong confidence of being whole, safe, and calm only comes from God himself. When anxiety tries to take over our minds, praying to Jehovah-Shalom reminds us that we don’t have to try hard to find peace on our own. Instead, God will give us peace as a pure gift – and by giving us peace, God gives us a part of himself. In John 14:27, Jesus says: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Calling God Jehovah-Shalom helps us let go of our worries and give them to God, who is the source of all peace.

One of God’s names, Jehovah-Shalom, focuses especially on peace. God told Gideon this name in Judges 6:24, during a time when the Israelites were being attacked by the Midianites. God called a shy man named Gideon to save his people. Gideon felt overwhelmed and afraid. But God met Gideon in his fear and told him he would be with him. After God gave Gideon a special sign to encourage him, Gideon built an altar and called it “The Lord is Peace” (Jehovah-Shalom). Even during that uncertain time of war, Gideon discovered that true peace comes from connecting with God’s presence.

When we’re going through too much stress, and we think we don’t have the power to manage it all, the name El Shaddai speaks right to those feelings. This powerful name means “God Almighty” or “The God Who Has All We Need.” It reminds us that God is always more than enough. As our Heavenly Father, God is the one who created us and also the one who cares for us. There is no limit to God’s power, and God is a generous parent, so we’re blessed!

In Genesis 17:1, God first told Abraham this name. Abram was 99 years old, and he and his wife Sarah had no children, even though God had promised them many children. They had become too old to have kids, according to the natural physical limits of their human bodies. But God introduced himself as El Shaddai and showed them that his power is greater than any human limits. Even when it seemed impossible for Abraham and Sarah to become parents in their old age, God still kept his promises.

Teach us today to become more reliant on You. Bring us into a greater discernment of how You operate, so that we may come into a deeper understanding that all we see with natural eyes is not all that is. Today we ask for eyes to see Your hand in all matters, and hearts open to Your work. Amen.

Lord, we ask today for more of Your Holy Spirit in our lives. Lord, it can be easy for us to become consumed with the fears that surround us in life, but we know that just as Your eye is indeed on the sparrow, so also do You care for and see us.

Father, I need to hear from You. Today, I make the commitment to start having a daily quiet time. I will listen for Your voice above all of the other voices in my life. Lord, teach me how to center my life on You and help me obey what I hear You say. In Jesus’ name, amen
