Isaiah 26:3

You keep [those] in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because [they] trust in you.

Explanation

"Staying" is a deep biblical practice. It's an active and practical word that draws us closer to God. The Hebrew word for "stay" is Samak (סָמַך) – To lean upon, to rest firmly against. It speaks to us of immense strength and reliability.

Inspiration

Are you lacking perfect peace today? Where are you feeling unsupported within yourself?

Application for Today

When we are feeling fragile, we are perfectly positioned to lean upon the Lord. To be "stayed" on Him is like leaning on someone when we cannot walk. Bring your prayer to Him as a request for support in your place of need today.

Prayer

Father God, Help me to lean on you in the places where I lack strength. Grant me your peace to underpin me and secure me in my day. I put my. trust in you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
