It must have been very difficult for the disciples..those were hard cruel times. They walked with the Savour and yet, they still feared man...<br />I believe as he spoke those words to them a healing and calmness took place, just as if they had been given a sedative.A beautiful peace, beyong human understanding.. we are so blessed. It is so easy. All we need do is believe.. It cost nothing and yet we seem to think unless we pay a huge amount of money, we will get nothing.. oh what little faith we have. <br />"Oh Lord, forgive and help my unbelief."

I guess if we choose to let our hearts be troubled, in a way we're kinda turning away the Lord's gift of peace.<br /><br />Yes, it's hard in the midst of troubles - I know, I'm having some real tough ones right now - but I'm also trying to hold on to the sure fact that the Lord cares. <br /><br />His peace is not the same as the world's - it isn't making everything better all the time. Sometimes it's giving us the ability to have hope that He will work through all circumstances for a good purpose.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-18930164246696627512011-04-08T09:56:19.846-07:002011-04-08T09:56:19.846-07:00This is a timely post for me, Ken.

I looked up the meaning up and according to the Webster's dictionary.<br />1 : a state of tranquility or quiet: as<br />a : freedom from civil disturbance<br />b : a state of security or order within a community provided<br />for by law or custom “a breach of the peace”<br />2 : freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or<br />emotions<br />3 : harmony in personal relations<br /><br /># 2 stood out for me. Our thinking is powerful, it can control us, it can destroy us or it can give us "peace". We have to LET Him. According to, 2 Cor. 10:5 "We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ." We can realize and CHOOSE to turn away and not allow unhealthy thoughts to take us captive (ie, worrying, our emotions, etc.). Peace IS a gift, Jesus wants us to experience. It's not that He wants us to hurt or worry but to practice looking to the Father. The Word will deliver us from then torment of OUR minds by asking God to redirect our thoughts. Jesus says that He will give us peace if we accept it from Him & allowing the Holy Spirit to fill us with Christ's peace. <br />God Bless :)IMPACT with prayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11873053590901677954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-91707960361005773232011-04-06T20:44:23.094-07:002011-04-06T20:44:23.094-07:00Thank you everyone for your comments.

Jesus tells us to not be troubled so really we should not. But man it is hard when we cannot see the outcome! Sometimes it is like being blind and trusting someone to lead us. Jesus is leading and we need to say lead on Master for I cannot see.<br /><br />God Bless Ken, I really loved this one!<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-44870434535655341142011-04-06T07:36:01.208-07:002011-04-06T07:36:01.208-07:00I never thought of it that way.

What stands out to me is that Jesus said "MY PEACE". He gives us peace like not other, a special peace that can only come from Him. If we keep our focus on Him at all times, not forgetting that Jesus is in control of all circumstances in our lives, we can feel His peace that rids us of our fears. A wonderful blog Ken.

I know I am guilty! I don't know why I sometimes find the worry, fretting and anxiety to be more of a familiar friend than the tranquil peace that Jesus has GIVEN me. But now I am going to remind myself that peace is a gift, given freely, it's mine for the taking...all I have to do is ask. I love the Scripture you chose!! Power, love, and a SOUND mind!
