“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”
John 14:1, ESV
Christ has overcome this world by overcoming death and the grave. We can find peace in Him by believing God has done this. This world is not our home, and one day He will unite us again in eternity!
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7, ESV
Drawing near to God by the Holy Spirit protects, strengthens, and comforts you in all trials, troubles, worries, and attacks, so that no matter what is happening you can know His peace.
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33, ESV
Christ proved through His resurrection that nothing can stop Him.
This world may beat us down, but through Christ we shall arise on the New Earth in glory. This hope gives us the courage to face whatever comes our way.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15, NASB
No matter what is happening in life, Christ is our peace. He dwells in our hearts, and as we meet as the Church He comforts us through each other, as well.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:11, ESV
Christ is the only way to God and eternal life, and that is the only way to find peace and joy that not only endure but will last eternally.
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14, ESV
Christ made peace between us and God.
Therefore, we should make peace with others in this world, as much as possible (without compromising the Gospel).
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 14:27, ESV
The One who has overcome death and the grave, conquered sin and violence, and sustains the Universe itself has given us peace.
Fall on Christ. It will break you, but you will be made whole and find His peace.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7, ESV
When we trust God for everything, give Him all the glory and credit for everything, we will find that nothing can faze us.
Find how close God is through His wisdom as discussed at Proverbial Thought.
This is a special reminder for all of us who are facing trials, confusion, and difficulties.
I will let God’s Word speak for itself:
“I called on your name, O Lord,
from the depths of the pit;
you heard my plea, ‘Do not close
your ear to my cry for help!’
You came near when I called on you;
you said, ‘Do not fear!’“You have taken up my cause, O Lord;
you have redeemed my life.”
Lamentations 3:55-58, ESV
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
. . .
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
