LOC FAF Peace

This is my card for Faith Art Friday at Layers of Color.

The Word of God is very clear about how we find peace - something that we all desire, strive for and often lack!  Just how do we find peace - there is no better place to seek an answer than in His Word

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
 Isa 26:3


For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD,
 thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jer 29:11-13

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint
Isaiah 40:31

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Isaiah 55:6
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 


Gods peace is not dependent on our circumstances and is more than an emotion or a feeling - it is a matter of the heart.  God's peace is there inspite of our circumstances.  It is a position of faith - when we are in that position of faith, we have His peace!

Sometimes God calms the storm
Other times He lets the storm rage
and calms the child!

I have used the Layers of Color Butterfly Collector, The Love Chapter, Artful Endearments, Sent With Love, Nature Walk and Joyful Noise to create this collage.  I have also used a SU Embossing Folder and Distressing Inks.

  2. He who has faith has..
    an inner reservoir of courage ,
    hope, confidence,calmness and assuring
    trust that all will come out well
    - even though to the world it may appear
    to come out most badly.
    These words from B Forbes , which I read in a book , Tranquil Moments , have helped me many a time . Loved the post and the card is stunning .Thank you for sharing both on Make it Monday .
