Isaiah 26:3
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” (NKJV)
Peace is not found in having everything right—it is found in knowing who God is. God has made Himself known by His names, and each name is a door into His character. When the world shakes, when sleep won’t come, when anxiety hovers, we must not merely seek peace—we must seek God. For peace is not a thing—it is a Person.

Poems: Names of God for Peace
1. He Is Peace
Peace is not a product.
It is not bought or forced.
It is the Person of God,
who enters the chaos
and speaks stillness.
Gideon did not ask for peace.
He needed courage.
But what God gave first
was Himself—
Jehovah Shalom.
When the ground trembles,
and I don’t know what to do,
I remember what is true:
Peace is not around me—
it is in Him.
I call His name,
not to make Him come,
but to remind my soul
that He is already here—
and that is enough.
He does not hand out peace
like bread to beggars.
He sits with the broken
and says, “I AM your peace.”
So I rest.
2. The God Who Sees Me
I was not looking for Him,
but He saw me first.
In the wilderness of rejection,
El Roi watched and moved
with mercy in His eyes.
No voice called my name.
No hand reached out.
But the God who sees
came close enough to whisper—
“I see you.”
That is where peace begins—
not in answered questions,
but in the gaze of love.
I am not hidden.
I am known.
He does not need directions.
He finds me in deserts.
When others walk by,
He steps in,
and stays.
So I no longer ask,
“Does anyone care?”
Because El Roi has spoken.
And once seen by Him,
I am never unseen.
3. Still Waters
The Shepherd does not shout.
He calls softly.
He does not drive the flock.
He leads with grace
by still waters.
The world moves fast.
But He invites me
to slow down,
to lie down,
and to trust.
He feeds me peace.
He walks with me in darkness.
No enemy escapes Him.
No shadow swallows me.
He stays.
My soul is not restored
by resolution,
but by presence.
Jehovah Rohi tends me
with love.
So I stop running.
I listen again
for His step,
and I follow
to quiet waters.
4. He Will Provide
The fire was real.
The wood was ready.
Abraham walked the hill
with questions,
but also with trust.
Provision had a name:
Jehovah Jireh.
Not before the need,
not after—
but right on time.
God did not remove the test.
He provided in it.
The Lamb appeared,
and peace was born
through sacrifice.
I carry less fear
when I walk with faith.
Not because I see answers,
but because I know the God
who always sees me.
So when the mountain rises,
and my hands tremble,
I call on His name,
and I remember—
He will provide.
5. God of All Comfort
Sorrow does not scare Him.
Grief does not offend Him.
He moves toward it.
He surrounds the broken
and stays.
Comfort is not escape.
It is Presence.
It is the nearness of God
who does not explain—
He embraces.
Pain does not mean peace is absent.
It means I need a Comforter.
And He comes,
not in a flash,
but in fullness.
He walks with me
through the valley,
speaking mercy,
bringing light
when I see none.
So I welcome the tears.
Not because I enjoy them,
but because I know
who will catch each one.
The God of all comfort.
6. Healer of My Wounds
I am not just tired.
I am torn.
But He does not flinch.
Jehovah Rapha comes close
and calls me whole.
He does not rush healing.
He does not hide scars.
He kneels beside the wound.
He lays His hand on it
and waits with me.
I thought peace came after pain,
but He brings it into pain.
Healing begins with presence,
not always with relief.
He gives both.
No doctor sees deeper.
No word speaks truer.
He touches what I hide.
And still, He stays—
calling me beloved.
So I rise slowly,
not because I am strong,
but because I am held.
Jehovah Rapha restores
what fear tried to ruin.
7. The God Who Reigns
The storm is loud,
but El Elyon speaks louder.
Winds obey Him.
Time bows to Him.
Nothing is over Him.
He is not shaken
by what shakes me.
He governs the sky
and the sigh
and the silence.
His throne is above the chaos.
He does not retreat.
He does not consult fear.
He speaks, and peace walks in.
He rules.
When I cannot make sense,
He remains sure.
He performs all things for me.
Peace rests where He reigns.
I fall before His greatness.
So I breathe again,
not because the storm has passed,
but because I know the One
who sits above it all—
El Elyon, my God Most High.
8. God With Us
I was never meant
to carry this alone.
Immanuel came
to walk where I walk
and stay where I sleep.
He does not shout from heaven.
He steps into earth.
He chooses dust,
and He stays
even when I stumble.
He knows what loss feels like.
He tasted loneliness.
He is not far.
He moved in next door
and knocked on my heart.
The peace I long for
came wrapped in flesh.
God did not send comfort—
He came as comfort.
He is with me.
So I do not walk alone.
I whisper His name,
and the silence breaks.
Immanuel is here.
Peace has come near.
9. Righteousness That Covers Me
I tried to be good.
I tried to be clean.
But my hands were never enough.
Then came Jehovah Tsidkenu—
and He covered me.
I was clothed in shame,
but He gave me righteousness.
Not earned, but given.
Not my record, but His.
Not my worth, but His grace.
Peace does not come from perfection.
It comes from justification.
He declares me whole.
And I stop striving
and start standing.
The weight lifts
when I trust His name.
The guilt flees
when I see the cross
and call it mine.
So I stand today,
not proud, but secure.
The Lord is my righteousness.
And in Him,
I am at peace.
10. The God Who Wraps Me
He does not fix first.
He embraces first.
The God of all comfort
does not need my words—
He knows the weight.
He meets me low,
sits where I sit,
and stays longer than sorrow.
He wraps me
in His presence.
Comfort is not noise.
It is the hush of love.
It is the nearness
of the One who suffers with me,
and lifts me gently.
He doesn’t rush grief.
He redeems it.
He plants hope in its soil
and lets it bloom slowly—
with light.
So I do not fake strength.
I lean back into Him.
The God of all comfort
carries my ache,
and gives me peace.
11. My Dwelling Place
I do not search for peace in places.
I look for it in a Person.
El Elyon is not only high—
He is near enough to dwell in.
He is my home.
Storms may swirl around me,
but they cannot enter Him.
He surrounds me like a wall.
He shelters like wings.
And I hide in Him.
Peace is not the absence of trouble.
It is the presence of the Most High.
He keeps me in the cleft.
He anchors what shakes.
He holds what’s falling.
When I feel restless,
I remember where I belong.
Not in fear, not in striving—
but in God.
He is my dwelling place.
So I return again,
not as a guest, but a child.
He makes room for me.
And in Him,
I am at peace.
12. The Name That Stills Me
I speak His name softly,
not to call Him,
but to calm me.
There is power in whispering
what is holy.
Jesus. Peace-giver.
Jesus. Chain-breaker.
Jesus. Friend of the weary.
His name breaks the night.
His name carries peace.
I do not need long prayers.
I need the right name.
The One who sits at the right hand,
and intercedes.
He knows. He comes.
In the swirl of questions,
I anchor my heart
on what cannot move.
The name above every name—
Jesus, my peace.
So I breathe and say it again.
Not as ritual, but as rest.
The name that stills the storm.
The name that fills the silence.
Jesus. Only Jesus.
