Prince of Peace

I'm suspended mid air, hanging from nothing. Something holds me there, but what I do not know. I'm spinning slowly, very slowly, in what seems to be a hammock. My legs dangle above the sky. I can see rainbows. I see the top of the rainbows, the beginnings, and end. The colors are made of majesty. All around me I see the sky, but it's a sky I've never seen. I'm not seeing it the way I've always seen it, I'm part of it. There is cobalt blue, light pink, and lilac purple all around me. Colors like I've never seen before.

Here there is no sound. There is movement, but not in a way I'm used to. Movement usually leads to sound. I expect when I move my feet to hear footsteps or a swoosh swoosh of the wind, but not here. No sound, just silence.

I look around and see the sun. It's setting on one end and beginning in another. It's movement is music. It tilts the whole movement of where I sit. My eyes follow it, but they do not squint.

I feel overwhelmingly joyful. The peace I have cannot be explained, it just exists in a capacity I've never felt before. The laughter inside begins to break but still no sound. Just beauty and majesty.

I wake up.


I had this dream a year ago. Often I'm reminded of it when I'm in anxious situations. When I'm stressed and am not trusting Jesus to have my back when I should, I close my eyes and I see this place He showed me a year ago.

My family has since I've been a kid had dreams. Unexplainably real, described often as a spiritual dream. I've had many in my lifetime, but the numbers multiplied when my father died.

I have had many that I could write about, but this one is what I need to share.You see, I need control over every situation. I have yet to find a way to be rid of that habit. But I think that's why Jesus keeps reminding me of this dream. That He is ultimately holding everything in His hand. He is in COMPLETE control. And it is good. He works every single detail for my good, before I even get there.

The peace I felt in that place where I fully believe I was seeing a snippet of heaven and being held in the palm of the hand of the Father, is accessible to you right now. My as of late anxious heart has fled there many times in the last month or two, and Jesus has reminded me He is the Prince of Peace. He controls everything at the right hand, and that includes tiny you and me.

Ask for peace, close your eyes, let Him give it to you.
