Peace I leave with you

“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 troubled and do not be afraid.”

John 14:27 (NIV)

God’s peace. How can you have God’s peace in the midst of a storm? When Jesus was with His disciples in a boat, a great storm came over them. Even in the midst of the storm, Jesus slept peacefully.

If you have a crisis in your life — if you have problems — if you have issues with your family — Jesus is with you. He can give you His peace — peace in your heart — even in the midst of a storm.

Here are three things you can do to experience God’s peace:

1. Make sure you know that Christ is your Savior — that He is with you “in the boat.”
2. Release your problem to Him — put it in His hands. You can trust that He will answer your prayers!
3. Ask His Holy Spirit to fill you with the presence of Jesus each and every day.
