John 14:27
New Living Translation (NLT)
27 “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.
I absolutely loved this verse. It is seriously something we need to remind ourselves of daily. I highly recommend you reading all of John 14 though because it is all good!
To me knowing that God can give us a peace that the world is unable to give us is such a beautiful thing. The verse doesn't say to not be troubled or afraid in one situation but it is ok to be in another. We are to not be troubled or afraid in all of our situations because when Jesus left this earth He promised us a peace not only of the heart but of the mind.
To me you can only find this when you are truly seeking it. You have to be seeking Christ and be in His presence to truly feel His peace. Once you realize that God has commanded us to not to be afraid it seems more clear that we don't have a reason to truly be afraid because the Creator of the Universe told us it wasn't necessary.
This is a verse that can apply to so many situations. Especially if you are going through a hard time right now, remember Jesus offers a peace to your heart and mind through the Holy Spirit. Trust in Him that everything is in control. God doesn't want bad things to happen in your life, but we live on an earth where they just do. But if you continue to trust in Him He can turn any situation around and bring glory to Him if you just believe in Him and his everlasting peace.
