An inner peace

Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1. KJV)

Are you looking for the peace of God, a peace that passes all understanding? In other words, an inner peace, a peace of mind and heart? Let us look at the peace of God spoken of in the Bible and how to find that peace.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus speaks to His disciples of His departure and of sending the Holy Spirit as a Comforter: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Jesus is telling His followers that the Comforter would come and give them the peace they would need to confront the difficulties ahead. He warns them not to be afraid since fear is the enemy of peace.

Praise is an important element in our being able to find peace, and we find many references to the importance of praise in the Psalms. “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.”

If we listen to the admonitions of the prophets and disciples, and Jesus Himself, we can find that quiet assurance, that peace of mind, that we search for. We will find it because we have Christ’s presence with us. He is our peace and He enables us to have peace with one another. He sends us His peace as we seek to live for Him and serve others. - Dennis Edwards [1]

Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. - St Teresa Of Avila
