Bible Verses About Peace

Bible Verses about Peace - Scriptures for Comfort and Rest

The world is filled with trial and hardship. It’s easy to become more worried and anxious every day as you face relationship struggles, financial problems, bad news, and grief. The Bible tells us that Jesus came to give us peace! If we seek out God’s plan for peace in our lives, through spending time in Scripture and praying, we can experience a “peace that passes understanding” (Philippians 4:7) - it’s a promise!

Psalm 29:11 NIV

11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.

Psalm 32:7 NIV

7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Isaiah 26:3-12 NIV

3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. 5 He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust. 6 Feet trample it down- the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor. 7 The path of the righteous is level; you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth. 8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,Or "judgments"we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. 9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. 10 But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the Lord. 11 Lord, your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame; let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them. 12 Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.

Isaiah 55:12 NIV

12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
