Reflection

If we focus on our problems and the difficult emotions we feel, we can start to fret and doubt.

The Way of Jesus Christ is different; he says: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.” John 14:27 NRSV.

Deep peace is not something we can create for ourselves. It is a promise and gift from God that never leaves us.  

Prayer

Dear God, please give me your deep peace, and enable me to receive it in faith. Soothe my troubled heart, take away my fear. Thank you for your abundant gifts in Christ.
