Often, we think that peace will come when our life and our world are in order \u2014 when we have a less stressful job or less on our to-do list. You may often find yourself looking to the next season, hoping that things will settle in your life. But you can have peace right now. Peace isn\u2019t dependent on our life circumstances. So even if the situation that\u2019s causing you stress, pain, or turmoil doesn\u2019t go away \u2014 even if things get worse \u2014 you can still have peace.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Jesus gives us peace, just like he gave himself. His peace is inseparable from his presence. The angels declared \u201cpeace on earth\u201d at the announcement of the birth of Jesus (Luke 2:14). After Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead three days later, the first thing he said to the disciples after his resurrection was, \u201cpeace be with you\u201d (John 20:19). And when Jesus ascended into heaven, peace was his parting gift (John 14:27). If we look at the life of Jesus, we see how he was able to experience peace during all of the difficulties he endured. It was his constant communion with God that surrounded and rooted his life in peace.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We can\u2019t find rest until we trust. Jesus trusted the Father. Just days before Jesus would be crucified, he prayed this prayer, \u201cFather, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine\u201d (Luke 22:42). Jesus trusted God\u2019s plan and will for his life. You can pray this same prayer today. When you open your heart and life to God and surrender to his leading, it is in that place you can find rest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Talking to God is a great way to express our fears and concerns and replace them with his peace. God wants to be the one you talk to when you\u2019re feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders. Take some time to talk to God about how you\u2019re feeling.
