God is: Jehovah-Shalom  “The God of Peace”

And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.  And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.  Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.  Judges 6:22-24

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.  Ephesians 2:13-17

 

I am: complete in Christ

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:  Colossians 2:10

“The Lord sometimes has to show us, not only the power of the one against us, but also the weakness of our own hearts.  His battles are not won through strength and prowness, but through weakness, thoroughly weakened, that refuses to do anything at all for itself but trust in His faithfulness – even when to trust seems folly.”  -Arthur Mathews, Green Leaf in Drought
