ARE YOU EVER DISTURBED? —

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you.” — John 14:27

Sometimes we have peace simply because we do not yet understand what is happening. But when trouble comes and we see the reality of life, we discover that true peace can only come from Jesus.

Jesus does not merely talk about peace—He gives peace. His peace is not dependent on circumstances; it comes from trusting Him.

Are you disturbed right now? Are you overwhelmed by problems, uncertainty, disappointment, or sorrow? Perhaps you have prayed but still cannot find peace. Look to Jesus.

Jesus Himself was not controlled by the storms around Him. When we look to Him, His calmness begins to influence our hearts.

One sign that we are right with God is that we can still turn our attention toward Him even in difficult circumstances. But when we are not walking closely with Him, we become consumed with ourselves, our problems, and our fears.

Ask yourself:

Am I looking at my problem more than I am looking at Jesus?

When we try to solve everything through worry, we lose sight of Christ. But when we bring the matter before Him, our perplexity begins to disappear because Jesus is never confused or overwhelmed.

Whatever you are facing today—difficulty, loss, disappointment, uncertainty, or sorrow—bring it to Jesus.

“Let not your heart be troubled.”

Your circumstances may not change immediately, but Jesus can give you His peace in the middle of them.
