#Peace be with you and with your spirit change free#
If you're having trouble with trusting God or finding the words to pray above the howling of the scary storms, feel free to offer up these words to the Lord now! Is your heart troubled? Are you feeling like the events around you are out of control and it's beginning to take a toll on your mental and emotional peace? One of the hardest parts of knowing peace is understanding how it has nothing to do with control. But take heart I have overcome the world.” ~ John 16:33 "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." ~ John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you my peace I give to you. Be assured of the peace that is found in Jesus Christ through the truth of His Word. Ask the Lord for peace of mind, heart, and soul, as we live to be in union with Him. Rather, it's to acknowledge the reality of suffering while at the same time trusting in God to make good on His promises.Pray for peace in your life when you need it most. What He calls for here is not for Christians to be stone-faced and inhuman. Jesus was said to have a troubled spirit, at times (John 11:33 13:21).
Here, again, scholars suggest that Jesus is distinguishing between being troubled in one's "spirit," meaning pain and unhappiness, as opposed to being troubled in one's "heart," meaning fear and despair. This repeats the statement Jesus used to start this message (John 14:1), immediately after predicting Peter's cowardice (John 13:38). Here, again, Christ encourages His followers to keep their "hearts" from fear and trouble. It is permanent, guaranteed, and eternal (Hebrews 6:18–19). Christ's "peace" here refers to a hope and reassurance that goes beyond what a fallen world can offer (Philippians 4:7). Even attempts to be moral, without God, lead only to frustration (2 Corinthians 7:10). The best we can expect from the natural world is unfairness and death (Romans 8:20 James 4:14 Psalm 73:3). The peace that Christ offers is not like that of the world.
This not only applies to His impending arrest and execution (Mark 8:31 John 12:34 16:32), but to the persecution Christians will face because of their faith (John 15:18–20 16:2–3). Several times in this discourse, Jesus will point out that He is preparing the disciples to "hold fast" in a difficult time (John 13:7 14:29 16:4, 33). That brings confidence and greatly reduces fear. What changes is the person's expectations-they know what is happening, and what will happen next. The experiences, themselves, don't change. Experience makes people less nervous to drive cars, fly in airplanes, endure thunderstorms, or receive medical injections. "Not knowing" brings its own kind of terror.
