God’s Peace

Section Introduction (Days 21–25): Up to this point, we have learned what anxiety is, identified its triggers, and seen how it shows up in our lives and even in the lives of people in Scripture. But God never leaves us with just a diagnosis. He offers us His remedy. In this section, we will see what He gives us in place of anxiety: His peace, His provision, His strength, His nearness, and His care.

Jesus promised His disciples peace, but not the kind the world offers. The world’s peace is fragile and temporary, easily broken by circumstances. His peace is steady, lasting, and powerful enough to calm troubled hearts.

When anxiety rises, peace can feel out of reach. But Jesus says it is already ours. He leaves His peace with us, a gift that does not depend on everything being perfect but on His presence in our lives. His peace does not ignore reality, but it carries us through it.

Anxiety says, “You’re on your own.” Peace says, “I am with you.” Anxiety stirs trouble. Peace stills it. The question is not whether peace is available, but whether we will receive what Jesus has already given.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gift of Your peace. When my heart feels troubled or afraid, remind me that You have already given me what I need. Help me to rest in Your presence instead of striving for control.

Daily Challenge:
When an anxious thought comes today, stop and whisper John 14:27 out loud. Remind yourself that Jesus has already given you His peace.
