Your Question:
Can I still have a sense of peace?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're searching for a sense of peace, and I want to assure you that it's possible to have that sense of peace. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with turmoil and anxiety, but I've also seen the transformative power of Jesus' peace. When we receive Jesus' words, He creates peace within us because His words are spirit and life (John 6:63). For me, peace comes from looking into Jesus' face and fully understanding His quiet contentment. I've experienced this peace in my own life, and I've seen it in the lives of my family members as well. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've learned to seek peace with each other and within ourselves. We've taught our children, Joshua and Rebecca, to enjoy quiet time and to seek peace with others. As Christians, we're called to be peacemakers, not just peacekeepers (Matthew 5:9), and we strive to live out this calling in our daily lives. So, my friend, I encourage you to seek Jesus' peace. Look up and receive the quiet contentment of the Lord Jesus. Reflecting His peace is proof that you are right with God, because you are exhibiting the freedom to turn your mind to Him. If you're not right with God, you can never turn your mind anywhere but on yourself. Let's pray together and ask God to give you the peace that comes from living in total obedience to His commands.
