we come to the third name and quality of God in our prayer model: God is our Peace. The psalmist described this beautifully with pastoral imagery: “He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters” (Psalm 23:2 NKJV, emphasis added). This prayer seems more relevant than ever. God often has to “make us lie down” because we are so busy and refuse to slow down until we’re forced to do so.
