It’s easy to let our souls be stirred by trouble. Peace can seem especially hard to find when you’re going through a difficult season.
But peace doesn’t have to be elusive!
Not if we remember that the kind of peace God offers is not determined by our circumstances.
The peace we need to walk through each and every trial is found only in Jesus. And we have access to that peace through God’s word.
On that note, I’ve put together a powerful collection of verses about finding peace in hard times.
They remind us that God is beckoning us to trust him. To simply be still and know he’s in control.
So, grab a hold of his peace and refuse to let go. Rest in him.
After all, the very same God that calmed the wind and the waves centuries ago can still speak to your storm today.
