“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)
This week has beared witness to the impact of natural disasters and fractured by division—whether through violence, injustice, political tension, or broken trust—Jesus offers us a gift unlike anything the world can provide: His peace.
Not a peace that comes and goes with circumstances, but a steady, quiet strength that holds us firm when the storm rages. It’s not found in headlines or policy changes. It’s found in the presence of Christ—in whispered prayers, in serving others, in choosing grace when it’s hard.
In the wake of the tornadoes and all the chaos surrounding it, many are grieving, scared, and unsure.
Today’s Sunday devotional shows us the world needs the kind of peace that isn’t shaken by what’s happening around us. That’s the peace we carry—not because of who we are, but because of who He is.
And when we carry His peace, we become beacons of calm, compassion, and hope for others who feel lost in the storm.
Reflection for prayer journaling:
- In what areas of your life are you craving peace right now?
- How can you be a carrier of Christ’s peace to someone affected by the chaos around us this week?
🙏 Prayer:
“Lord,
In the middle of all that feels broken and uncertain, help me rest in Your peace. Quiet my anxious heart and make me a vessel of calm in someone else’s storm. When the world is loud with fear, may my life speak softly of Your presence.Amen.”
