Jesus Gives Me Peace
đź“– “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
—John 14:27 (NKJV)
Sometimes life can feel scary. Maybe you are worried about school, afraid of the dark, nervous about making new friends, or concerned because someone in your family is sick. Everyone feels afraid sometimes. Even Jesus’ disciples were worried when He told them He would soon leave them.
Jesus knew their hearts were troubled, so He gave them a wonderful promise. He told them that He would give them His peace. This peace is different from anything the world can offer. The world says peace comes when everything is going well. Jesus says His peace can remain in our hearts even when life is difficult because He is always with us.
When we remember that Jesus is in control, we do not have to let fear take over our hearts. We can pray, trust Him, and know that He cares about everything we face. His peace reminds us that no problem is bigger than He is.
Every time you begin to worry, take a moment to talk to Jesus. Tell Him exactly how you feel. Then remember His promise that He will never leave those who belong to Him. As you trust Him, He fills your heart with His peace.
Knowing Jesus means learning to rest in Him, even when life feels uncertain.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for giving me Your peace. When I feel afraid or worried, help me remember that You are always with me. Teach me to trust You each day and to rest in Your loving care. Thank You for loving me and watching over me. Amen.
