Finding Peace During Trials

 September 30, 2024

Verse of the day - John 20:21 (NRSV)

Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you.  As the Father has sent me, so I send you.'

In chapter 6 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about finding peace during our trials.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

I was persecuted greatly by others.  If I was persecuted, so too will you be.  Be prepared to face many trials and tribulations when you become My followers.  Remember that you are not alone.  Come to the cross during your trials.  It is here where you will find comfort and peace.

During our times of trial and suffering, if we come to the Cross of Christ, He will bring us peace and comfort.  It is difficult to face situations on our own.  The GOOD NEWS is that we do not need to face anything by ourselves.  We often speak to others about the problems we are facing and that is okay.  We can find comfort in speaking to others but the peace we find is only temporary.  If we take the time to bring everything that we are facing to the Cross of Christ, Jesus will lift our burdens off of our shoulders and give us a peace that surpasses all understanding.  The peace that Jesus offers us is like no other.
