How can I find peace?
The Bible says lasting peace is found in God, not in circumstances. It comes through being reconciled to him in Christ and through trusting him with our worries in prayer.
Real peace begins with peace with God: ‘since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ’ (Romans 5:1). The deepest unrest — separation from God — is healed in Christ.
From there comes inner peace amid trouble. Paul writes that prayer with thanksgiving brings ‘the peace of God, which transcends all understanding’ to guard our hearts (Philippians 4:7).
Jesus offers a peace the world cannot give: ‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you’ (John 14:27). It is found not by fixing every circumstance but by trusting the One who holds them.
