Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Psalm 29:11 The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Prayer is the secret of power. We enter with worry, we can come out in peace.
Joy in the Lord is also the source of power.
Wonderful Peace

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight — Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm; — In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls — O’er my soul like an infinite calm.
CHORUS:
Peace, peace, wonderful peace, — Coming down from the Father above! — Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray — In fathomless billows of love!
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace, — Buried deep in the heart of my soul, — So secure that no power can mine it away, — While the years of eternity roll!
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace, — Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control; — For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day, — And His glory is flooding my soul!
And I think when I rise to that city of peace, — Where the Author of peace I shall see, — That one of the anthems the ransomed will sing — In that heavenly kingdom will be:
O soul, are you here without comfort and rest, — Marching down the rough pathway of time? — Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark; — O, accept this sweet peace so sublime!
Warren D. Cornell 1889
