Finding Peace by Asking, Seeking, and Trusting

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.” - John 14:27

Peace… After developing the ability to love and the capacity and willingness to forgive, I believe having peace may be the most important spiritual gift.

How do we find peace when we have bills to pay and insufficient income? How do we find peace when we have health challenges, when there are problems in our relationships, when our parents and or children are struggling and we feel powerless to help?

How do we untrouble our hearts and stop being afraid? How do we find this peace that Jesus promised to send through the Holy Spirit. I believe that we have to ask, seek, and trust.

We ask God for peace. We can stop pretending everything is ok when it isn’t. We name and acknowledge our cares place them on the alter everyday as needed.

We seek peace. We actively surround ourselves with people who love and nurture us. We seek out the environments and supports- including therapy, medication if necessary, and meditation that facilitate peace.

We trust that the shepherd will lead us through the dark valleys in which we find ourselves and bring us table that is being prepared for us.
