Psalm 3

Psalm 3
English Standard Version (ESV) 

  At one point, the disciples asked Jesus to pray.  There was clearly something about Jesus' relationship with God that led the disciples to ask about how their own relationship could be transformed.  He came to give his peace, a peace that transcends understanding.  It's the kind of peace that leads a man to sleep when surrounded by thousands of enemies, so confidant is he in the protection of God.
  Have you ever seen pictures of children asleep in the most chaotic of situations?  There are pictures of children asleep in their parent's arms during thunderstorms and other loud, chaotic events, and it's overwhelming for me -- such is the child's confidence and trust in their parent that they can fall asleep.
  And so we should pray for that kind of peace, for the kind of trust where we, in the face of overwhelming circumstances, can rest in God, confidant that the outcome is in good hands, because we are safe with God.  The Lord hears our cry and answers us, and nothing can tear us from his hand - and so we need not fear.  Salvation belongs to the Lord!
