Don’t be troubled, John 14

1 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 27 “” am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. ‘
John 14:1,27

The world is crazier and more chaotic than ever. While reading John 14, I’m reminded that I shouldn’t be troubled, that I should trust God, and that we shouldn’t be afraid of whatever storms come our way. Christ is bigger than any storm or challenge we face. We need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, not the storm.

6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  7and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’
Philippians 4:6-7

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for Jesus. I trust in you, I trust Jesus. Lord, I pray for peace in our hearts, peace in the world, and a perfect tranquility that comes from Jesus that surpasses all understanding.
