For the sake of my relatives and friends, I will sing "Peace be within you."
Psalm 122:8 It is sometimes easy to lose hope as a child of God. Everywhere we turn the world seems to be falling apart, despite our best efforts to be the disciples that Jesus taught us to be. Funding problems challenge our schools, government officials struggle with polarized views, wars and violence seem to have no end, and the list continues with natural disasters of all kinds and countless tragedies.

How can we sing "Peace be within you" to encourage our friends, and ourselves?
Meditate on this: Advent is a time of encouragement. Even though we live in the midst of difficult times, as did the prophets of old, the deep peace of the running waves flows to us as we remember where we should place our hope and why.
We can sing of the deep peace of the running waves. Our trust in God has strong grounds. Over the years, God's loving careh as proven true in every situation. God has promised never to leave us, and is with us in suffering and rejoicing. Peace be within you! For even on rainy days, hope does not disappoint us.

Loving God, when we are worried, help us remember that you arefaithful; and strengthen us to be the peace-sharing, bold, and hopeful people you have called us to be.
