Peace practices for this week:
1) Pray about every situation — not just big things, not just the ones beyond your control, not just the ones that seem to be spiritual or ethical – every situation.
2) ‘Pray through’ until you feel Jesus has heard your heart and you’ve heard His, then give thanks.

Blessed Assurance
Verse 1
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation purchase of God
Born of His Spirit washed in His blood
Chorus
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Verse 2
Perfect submission perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy whispers of love
Verse 3
Perfect submission all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest
Watching and waiting looking above
Filled with His goodness lost in His love

Every wave at Your name

Breathe call these bones to live
Call these lungs to sing
Once again I will praise

Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is alive forever lifted high
Your name cannot be overcome
