Start with Praise
A covenant - an agreement - a contract between me and a Holy God.... John 14:27 Jesus said "Peace is My parting gift to you, My Own Peace. Agree with God, claim it - take His Parting Gift right now.... Says the Lord, "My love shall not be immovable and ever fail, and My Covenant of peace shall not be shaken. Isaiah 54:10... God goes on to say that when we agree to His terms we shall be free from oppression and have no fears, free from terror and it will not come near us... v. 14 Ask the Lord to show you how to make this "peace treaty" with Him!!!
- write down everything that concerns you:
anxious thoughts - feelings of inadequacy - sins - guilt - world conditions - fears you haven't given over to the Lord
- confess and name each one - take the cleansing of Jesus' blood and instant forgiveness - command every thought to obey the Lord. I John 1:7-9, II Corinthians 10:4,5
- kick the "worry habit" by saying, "I fear the Lord, I will not let fear live in my heart". (one is holy - the other is unholy) Let the Peace of God rule your heart. Peacestat in operation. Colossians 3:15, John 16:33
- trust God with all your cares... go from "worry" to "worship"... Praise Him in all things. He promises tranquility... Think faith thoughts - not fearful ones. Pray this : Lord Jesus, stand guard over my thoughts, my mind, my emotions and my will. (p. on forgiveness)
- FIX your mind on : honorable things, justice, pure things, lovely, kind, winsome and gracious thoughts.... v. 8
-REFUSE in Jesus' Name to dwell on the opposite.... Take the power that is available to us. Luke 10:19
2) Peace with believers

II Timothy 2:22, I Timothy 2:2, Matthew5:9, Proverbs 16:7, Luke 2:14, Romans 12:18, 14:19, Romans 12:18
4) Pray for the peace
Of Jerusalem - Psalm 122:6
Of the city where you live - Jeremiah 29:7
Of the house you live in, visit, and bring good news to - Matthew 10:12, Deuteronomy 20:10, I Samuel 25:6, I Chronicles 12:18
Of the rules and those in authority.. I Timothy 2:2, Isaiah 32:18
5) Everlasting Peace when Sar Shalom comes. (Prince of Peace)
Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 11, Psalm 85:8-10, Colossians 1:2, I Thessalonians 5:3, Revelation 22----Beware of so-called peace movements - I Thessalonians 5:3, Psalm 2, Psalm 35:20, Romans 3:17, Isaiah 59:8, Jeremiah 8:15, Psalm 28:3, Jeremiah 14:19, Jeremiah 28, Micah 3:5, Revelation 6:4, Isaiah 48:22, Psalm 120:6,7
