The Promise Of Peace

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
