'The Lord turn His face towards you,and give you peace'( Num 6 v 26 ),the opposite of turning His face towards us would be turning His face away from us,denoting his displeasure with us.So here we have a prayer that God would look kindly on us,and give us His peace.He will not look on us if we are sinning, being disobedient,but.If we confess our sins then He will forgive, and the way will be open for Him to bless us.And bless us with that most precious of gifts His peace, the word for peace is' Salom',which means wholeness, a totality of well being.Many have material benefits, financial security,but they lack 'Salom'. Peace with God through Christ is wonderful,and to know the peace of God is one of the great blessing that can be ours . We bless Thee for Thy peace,O God Deep as the unfathomed sea, Which fall's like sunshine on the road Of those who trust in Thee. We ask not,Father , for repose Which comes from outward rest, If we may have through all life's woes Thy peace within our breast. That peace that suffers and is strong, Trusts where it cannot see Deems not the trial way too long, But leaves the end with Thee That peace that flows serene and deep, A river in the soul. Whose banks a living verdure keep, God's sunshine o'er the whole. O Father, give our hearts this peace, Whate'er the outward be, Till all life's discipline shall cease, As we go home to thee.
