Daily Bible Verse ~ John 14:27

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 hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid…

Oh, how we all want to have peace in our life. Many of us will do almost anything to achieve it. Whether it’s going for a walk, listening to our favorite music, or reading a good book, the peace we gain from worldly things will only last for a moment. But, the peace the lord offers will last a lifetime.

Jesus reminds me today to not let my heart be troubled. Not only should the peace of knowing Jesus overwhelm me, but the gift of the Holy Spirit in me calms my troubled heart in ways worldly things can not. Trusting in His goodness and Love allows me to turn over all my cares to him. All my challenges and anxieties left at the cross will be cared for in ways I can do on my own.

What cares and burdens do you have today that you need the Lord to carry for you? Cast them all on him and walk away knowing that you have a loving Savior who is always there to walk with you during life’s struggles.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for caring for me like no other. Today I want to cast my cares on you to carry because I can no longer carry them on my own. Amen…
