John 14:27
Jesus speaks of peace while facing the cross. This peace is not circumstantial—it is relational. Worldly peace depends on control. God’s peace depends on trust.
In real life, peace disappears when plans fail or news turns negative. But Jesus offers peace that remains even when conditions shake. This peace guards the heart, not the situation.
Peace is not found in avoiding trouble, but in knowing God is present within it.
Reflection:
What has been disturbing your peace lately?
Prayer:
Jesus, I receive the peace You give. Calm my heart and help me trust You beyond my circumstances. Amen.
