Scripture:
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." – John 14:27 (NIV)

Devotional Thought:
Life’s storms can leave us feeling shaken, anxious, and uncertain. When challenges come our way, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. But Jesus offers us a peace that surpasses all understanding—a peace that is not based on our circumstances but grounded in Him.

In John 14:27, Jesus promises to give us His peace, a kind of peace that the world cannot offer. It’s a deep, abiding calm that comes from trusting in His presence and His control over every situation. While the world offers fleeting comfort, God’s peace is eternal, powerful, and steadfast, even in the fiercest storms.

Today, invite God's peace into your heart. Instead of focusing on the chaos around you, shift your gaze to the One who walks with you through every storm. His peace is available, and all you need to do is ask. Trust in Him, and you will find rest for your troubled soul.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gift of Your peace. In the midst of life’s storms, help me to rest in the assurance that You are in control. Calm my troubled heart and fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. I trust in You, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Action Step:
Take a moment today to sit in silence and invite God’s peace into your life. Reflect on any area where you’re feeling anxious, and as you pray, picture God’s peace surrounding and calming your spirit.
