And there find peace and refreshing
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. (Colossians 3:15 NLT)
Jesus lay in the boat sleeping. The waves rose, the wind blew and the storm battered the small vessel about. His disciples were afraid: afraid of the wind, afraid of the waves and fearful for their lives.
They came to Jesus, woke Him up, begging for His help.
The answer lay in His power. He said, “Peace, be still,” and there was peace. The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
No matter the turmoil of our life, we too can find peace if we turn to Jesus for His help.
Our daily lives can easily become filled with stress, pressure, and confusion. But we can stop at any moment and slip away into the presence of God’s Spirit through prayer and meditation, and there find peace and refreshing. [1]
Dear restless heart, be still, for peace is God’s own smile,
His love can every wrong and sorrow reconcile;
Just love, and love, and love, and calmly wait awhile. - Edith Willis Linn Forbes (1865–1945)
