John 14:27-28

True peace comes from Jesus. There might be moments or even seasons in time that we feel peaceful, but that doesn’t last. Anxiety would love to keep us wrapped up, feeling terrible, and focused on our issues.

Honestly, the mind really is our battlefield. We think first, then say it, then do it. Our mind wanders and we go off on an anxiety filled “what if” situation that robs our peace. The key to stopping our minds is taking every thought captive like the Bible says. Replace your anxious thoughts and any lies with the truth. It’s the truth that sets us free.

Jesus knew life on earth wouldn't be perfect, but He wanted us to know that in His plan to go away and come back, we can also have peace with that knowledge.
