Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubles and do not be afraid. John 14:27
When we keep our focus on the solid footing of Jesus Christ, we will have peace. This isn't some fleeting feeling, but a faith in knowing who He is and that we are safely sheltered in His love and care. We must draw our peace from Him, not ourselves. How? A heart of prayer cultivates peace. When the storms of life hit, we often start a cycle of worry and fret. But when we pray, we are confronted with who He is; our shelter.
For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13
