The Issue of Lack of Peace
By Dr. Betty R. Price

Jesus said in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." It is up to you to not let your heart be troubled, because Jesus has given you the peace. You just have to believe it and act like you are peaceful, whether you feel like it or not. Then the peace will come. I know that doing these things are not easy, but you can train yourself to do the Word. The benefits are just absolutely wonderful.

In John 16:33, Jesus said, "That in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." With anything that comes to bring you fear and steal your peace, remember that if you are in Jesus, He has overcome the world and is going to take care of you in all situations. You have to make up your mind to believe the Word because scary things are happening all the time: hurricanes, earthquakes, and all kinds of disasters. How can you make it without Jesus Christ? Everything we are or hope to be is in Him. We will never have peace apart from Jesus Christ, so it is up to us to walk in that peace.
