Day 16 (Elul 16) – PRINCE OF PEACE

MODEH ANI – MORNING PRAYER

Heavenly Father, a new day unfolds with spectacular colors, whispering a breath of Heavenly Shalom over the sleeping world. Thank You for this beautiful day, crafted with the finest detail of eternity, that I may seek You in every moment. Today, I acknowledge You as my PRINCE OF PEACE, my Shalom, my Beloved from the Throne Room of YAHUAH.

The world throws its restless chaos before me—its rollercoaster pace, its rat-race chase, its empty promises served on a fast-food backdrop—pulling me to spin in circles without direction, robbing me of the stillness within. Yet You, Abba, are my anchor. In You alone is my Shalom, unshaken, supernatural, beyond all measure.

Teach me, Father, how to step into Your rest, to breathe in the stillness of Your Spirit, and to guard the treasure of peace that Yahushua has given me. When storms rise to devour my Shalom, step in and silence them, for no power can steal what You have sealed.

Shine Your peace upon me today, Abba YAHUAH, through the Name of Your Son—my Prince of Peace, YAHUSHUA. HalleluYAH!

REFLECTION: Increase the Peace

The first thing the enemy wants, as soon as we open our eyes in the morning, is to steal our peace for the day. Each of us can think of many examples—triggers that try to push our peace out the door within the first hour after waking up. That is the very key the enemy wants to grab and run with. See it for what it is, and be aware of who is trying to steal your peace.

But Father desires to give us peace—the very opposite of what the enemy plans for our day. His peace is the gold of His glory, ready to fill us, to shape us, and to set us on a righteous path that brings calmness to our journey, a calmness that only He can ignite.

TESHUVAH Repent: Unblock the Peace

In many areas of our lives, we rob ourselves of the Shalom of YAH. Pause and reflect on moments when peace slipped through your fingers, when circumstances stirred turmoil in your heart. Invite the KING IN THE FIELD to come and uproot those very things that disrupted your rest. Walk humbly in His presence, listening for what needs tending in your “field” so that you may walk fully in His peace. Ask Him to show you how not to stumble in the same traps again, and to restore your Shalom in His radiant fullness.

BERACHAH Blessing: Release the Peace

When YAHUAH restore your Shalom, He will lead you into a field of rest, where the grass is soft underfoot, the air hums with His presence, and true Shalom flows like a river through your soul. Here, in the open expanse of His care, your spirit will find refreshment, and your heart will flourish in the peace of the KING IN THE FIELD.

SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 9:6 – THE PRINCE OF PEACE

“For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son is given; and the government is on His shoulder; and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty El, THE PRINCE OF PEACE, The One who Fathered Everlasting life.”

Isaiah 9:6 also calls Yahushua the “Prince of Peace” (Sar Shalom). This title shows that He brings peace that transcends human understanding—peace that steadies our hearts, calms our fears, and restores our souls even in the midst of chaos. He is not merely a giver of temporary relief; His peace flows from His authority and presence, touching every area of our lives and healing the unrest within us.

When we recognize Yahushua as our Prince of Peace, we can lay down anxiety, stress, and conflict, trusting that His Shalom will guide our steps, settle our hearts, and create harmony in our relationships. This peace is both a gift and a calling: to walk as ambassadors of His Shalom, reflecting the calm, order, and restoration that only He can bring.

“YAHUAH bless you and keep you; YAHUAH cause His face to shine on you, and be gracious to you; YAHUAH lift His face to you, and give you PEACE.” (Numbers 6:24-26)

As we walk with the King in the Field, let His peace rule in our hearts, guiding our steps and shaping our thoughts (Colossians 3:15). Even when walls of division and unrest rise around us, Yahushua breaks them down and unites us with the Spirit of YAHUAH, granting us reconciliation and rest (Ephesians 2:14).

Let us remember that through faith in Him, we are justified and granted peace with our Creator (Romans 5:1). This Shalom is not just a fleeting calm; it is a divine order, a restoration of our hearts, and a gift that flows from the Prince of Peace Himself. Today, let us rest in His presence, allowing His peace to saturate our field, to heal, restore, and guide us in every step we take.

Teshuvah [תשובה] brings Berachah [ברכה], the blessing of our King.

Shalom,
