Peace




"Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27 (NIV)

As I read newspaper headlines and watch news broadcasts, there is more bad news reported than good news. At times this can leave us unsure, unsettled, and, yes, afraid. This is what the world gives us, very little hope. 
 When Jesus said, "Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Jesus wanted us to turn to Him for peace and to not be afraid.
Thought for today:  
When we have times of being afraid, may we remember that Jesus will give us real peace. 
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
The world is in so much turmoil right now as You well know. At times this can leave us unsure, unsettled, and afraid. Help us to remember that Jesus can give us peace, and we do not need to be afraid.
In Jesus' name, we pray. 
Amen
