Peace

Anxiety is one of the most common struggles people face, but God gives us a better answer than simply masking it or coping with it. Peace is not the temporary peace the world offers, but the peace Jesus gives. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.” His peace is not based on perfect circumstances, personal control, or the absence of trouble. It is rooted in who He is and what He has done. Peace is not merely a feeling. It is a gift from Christ, a fruit of the Spirit, and the result of being reconciled to God. Whatever circumstance you are facing, the Lord of peace is able to grant you peace continually.
