“Are you severely troubled right now? Are you afraid and confused? When we are awakened to the realities of life, true inner peace is impossible unless it is received from Jesus. When our Lord speaks peace, He creates peace–a peace that comes from looking into His face and fully understanding and receiving His quiet contentment. Lay everything out before Him, and when you are faced with difficulty, bereavement, and sorrow, listen to Him say, ‘Let not your heart be troubled’ (John 14:27)” (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest).

“I 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 14:27, New Living Translation).
