John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled, trust in God, trust also in me."
John 14:27 "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."
Jesus tells us that He will exchange our troubles and fears for peace -- a specific peace that only He can give. If you go to "the world" with your troubles, the world answers you with flawed opinions and conflicting advice that originate in the imperfect perspective of this world. Jesus wants us to lay down our troubles at His feet and accept the gift of peace for our hearts that can only come from Him.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to simply thank You that You do not give as the world gives. Thank You that You give me peace. Jesus, I put my trust in You. Amen.
