Finding Peace Again: A Reflection of a Right Relationship with God

If you're struggling to find peace again, it's essential to understand that peace often accompanies obedience to divine guidance. This doesn't mean you'll feel good about it when it conflicts with your natural desires. However, assurance often follows. The Bible teaches that we can have peace with God and a clear conscience when we turn to Christ in faith (Romans 5:1). This peace is not just the absence of fighting or conflict, but a restored relationship with God.

The Nature of Peace

Real peace comes from God, and it's not something we can manufacture or control. The Bible says, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts" (Colossians 3:15). This means allowing the peace of Christ to govern our thoughts, emotions, and actions. When we have this peace, we'll notice a significant change in our relationships. Issues that formerly caused strife will no longer be a source of conflict. This unity is vital, and Jesus emphasized its importance when He said, "Every house divided against itself will not stand" (Matthew 12:25). When we're not united, everything falls apart.

Experiencing Peace in the Midst of Turbulence

If you're severely troubled and feeling afraid and confused by the waves of life, don't give up. Remember that God sovereignly allows these challenges to enter our lives. When we turn to Christ in faith, we can have peace with God and a clear conscience. This peace is not a guarantee of complete peace in all our relationships, but it's a promise of restoration and a sense of well-being. As the Bible says, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). We can trust in God's sovereignty and His promise to guide us through the turbulent times. By turning to Christ in faith, we can experience the peace that passes all understanding.
