Finding Peace in the Midst of Turmoil

When life becomes overwhelming, and our burdens seem too heavy to bear, it’s easy to feel lost and alone. But as Christians, we have a promise of peace that surpasses all understanding. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

The Promise of Peace

The Bible is full of promises of peace, from the Old Testament to the New Testament. In Isaiah 26:3, we read, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” This promise is not limited to a specific time or place; it’s a promise that is available to us today, tomorrow, and forever.
