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. John 14:27 NIV

 

Anxiety has become a significant issue in today’s world, affecting not only adults but also young people. The multitude of challenges we face, including family issues, homelessness, crime, severe weather, climate change, pollution, natural disasters, pandemics, conflicts, and the ambitions of leaders, contribute to this anxiety. In search of solace, many turn to substances, self-gratification, or various faiths, yet true peace remains elusive for most. However, peace is offered freely and abundantly by Jesus.  When we give our life into his care he gives us peace, hope and a future that is out of this world. We can walk through life unafraid because God has us in the palm of his hand.
