Peace
[Jesus said,] “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”
When you feel afraid, remember that no enemy or adversity can take away your most important blessings—your relationship with God, his forgiveness of your sins, and your eternal salvation. These remain secure even when your world falls apart, giving you great peace. Your situation may be genuinely threatening, but God has not abandoned you, and he promises to stay with you. Even if your troubles should end in death, God will usher you into his very presence.
