Jesus promises us peace

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27 NKJV)

Jesus promises us peace.

Just as Jesus calmed the stormy sea when His disciples thought their ship was sinking and they were about to drown, He can calm the storms of life and give you inner peace that passes all understanding.

He did it for Paul and Silas, when they were beaten and thrown into prison.

Instead of despairing, they sang praises to God—and were suddenly and miraculously set free!

As you learn to trust in God with all your heart, you’ll find that He can give you perfect peace—no matter what is going on around you! —Rafael Holding [1]

Many things can happen in life that are just too much for us, but they aren’t too much for the Lord. Ask Him to give you the “peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” that comes when you tell Him your problems. It may take time to work out certain situations, but He will take away the feeling of stress they cause. So don’t try to face everyday irritations alone. Ask the Lord to help, and the first help He’ll send your way is His inner peace. —Nana Williams
