Your Question:
Why can't I find peace?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling to find peace. It's a sad state of affairs when we feel like there's no refuge from strife and no place to find refreshing. But I want you to know that true inner peace is impossible unless it's received from Jesus. When our Lord speaks peace, He creates peace, because His words are spirit and life. Have you ever received what Jesus speaks? Have you looked into His face and fully understood and received His quiet contentment? As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle to find peace, even when they've turned to Christ in faith. They may have peace with God and a clear conscience, but they still face battles with their own sin and Satan. It's as if peace comes in installments. But I want to encourage you to seek peace with others and within yourself. It's the duty of Christians to do so. Help your children learn to enjoy quiet time with God, and remember that peace is not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of God's love and acceptance. As I reflect on my own life, I realize that I've found peace when my schedule aligns with my values. But I also know that true peace comes from Jesus. He sends an immeasurable, deep peace that's not a natural peace, but the peace of Jesus. Whenever peace doesn't come, wait until it does, or seek to find out why it's not coming. And remember, peace is not just something we receive, but something we're called to be. We're called to be peacemakers, not just peacekeepers. So, let's seek peace with God and with others, and may we enjoy the peace that comes from living in total obedience to His commands.
