Seeking Peace in Turmoil
Scripture Foundation
In John 14:27, Jesus says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you." As we reflect on this promise, let's also consider Psalm 34:17, "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles." Isaiah 26:3 reminds us, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." And in Colossians 3:15, we're instructed to "let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts since, as members of one body, you were called to peace." These scriptures serve as a foundation for our prayer and a reminder of God's presence with us.
