Finding Peace
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
John 16:33 NKJV
Oftentimes, our outer struggles are simply manifestations of the inner conflict that we feel when we stray from God’s path. Jesus offers us peace, not as the world gives, but as He alone gives. Our challenge is to accept Christ’s peace into our hearts and then, as best we can, to share His peace with our neighbors. When we accept Jesus as our personal Savior, we are transformed by His grace. We are then free to accept the spiritual abundance and peace that can be ours through the power of the risen Christ.
Have you found the genuine peace that can be yours through Jesus Christ? Or are you still rushing after the illusion of “peace and happiness†that the world promises but cannot deliver? Today, as a gift to yourself, to your family, and to your friends, claim the inner peace that is your spiritual birthright: the peace of Jesus Christ. It is offered freely; it has been paid for in full; it is yours for the asking. So ask. And then share.
Prayer guards hearts and minds and causes God to bring peace out of chaos. -Â Beth Moore
Before God changes our circumstances, He wants to change our hearts. -Â Warren Wiersbe
When we do what is right, we have contentment, peace, and happiness. -Â Beverly LaHaye
Peace with God is where all peace begins. -Â Jim Gallery
To know God as He really isâ€"in His essential nature and characterâ€"is to arrive at a citadel of peace that circumstances may storm, but can never capture. - Catherine Marshall
Today’s Prayer
Dear Lord, let me accept the peace and abundance that You offer through Your Son Jesus. You are the Giver of all things good, Father, and You give me peace when I draw close to You. Help me to trust Your will, to follow Your commands, and to accept Your peace, today and forever. Amen
