Peace of Mind

Finding God’s Peace in an Anxious World

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)

Peace, more often than not, lives underneath the turmoils and anxieties of our hearts. With the bombardment of social media, we are exposed to more information than we can absorb and more distressing news than we can process. Not letting our hearts be troubled and not being afraid seems to be just impossible. However, Jesus’ prayer for us is not that we be taken out of this anxious world but that we may be protected from all anxiety (cf. John 17:15). How then might we as Christians, remain centred in Christ in the midst of an anxious world?
