It's Noisy out There!

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I give to you not as the world gives. Don't be troubled or afraid.

—John 14:27

Some days it's difficult to get your head above the noise. It might be the literal noise of traffic or construction or the person on the phone in the cubicle next to yours. It might simply be the noise in your head of too many worries or too many things to do so that you're feeling overwhelmed.

John reminds us in this passage that Jesus left us with a gift when he ascended back into heaven. He left us something the world cannot give us. He left us his peace.

We can tap into him at any time and he will show us how to get back to him, how to feel the depth of spirit that brings us peace again. He alone can provide that measure of peace, the kind that stills the troubled waters of our minds.

In the Flow

Lord, thank you for providing a way for me to come back to you and renew my strength and rest in peace. Grant me peace of mind and soul and spirit today. Amen.
