Peace Like A River.
John 14:27 (NIV)
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.
The world is full of chaos and it is obvious all around us. The Bible made it clear that as long as we have wicked people in the world, there won't be peace.
Everything has robbed us of our peace. The system we live in has been corrupted and the lust of the flesh has taken over. The lust of the flesh and desire for this world has led to so many sinful habits that have threatened our peace and robbed us of that prized peace. The world is bleeding and ever since the fall of man in the garden of Eden, we have been trying to make ends meet but it keeps getting worse due to the greed and wickedness of man.
We have drugs that are robbing people of their peace. There is racism all around. We have deaths that have become certain in our days. You are responsible for your safety while trusting in God to keep us from the paths of wrong.
John 16:33 (NIV)
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
We have been assured of peace in God through Jesus. Jesus already warned us that the world is full of troubles and He is our only source of peace. The Bible was clear when it says the name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous - those redeemed by the blood of Jesus, run into it and they are safe - experience peace.
Despite all the evils happening in Egypt, the children of Israel experienced peace in Goshen. The outside influence wasn't enough to disrupt their peace. When the storm was raging, Jesus calmed the storm by declaring 'Peace, be still'. God is mindful of us. What He wants for us is everything available in Him. He doesn't want us to fall short of anything and that is why He sent Jesus to us.
There was peace in the Garden of Eden before the devil disrupted it and Jesus has now warned us that there would always be trouble and distractions on every side. Everything will want to threaten our peace and take us away from it but we should be mindful and not allow it. As long as we are in Christ, our peace is assured. Know Christ, no crisis. No Christ, know crisis.
What is it that is threatening your peace? What is it that is causing you pains? Take it to the Lord in prayer. He said by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. A lot of people would rather discuss with others without involving God. God knows where it hurts but He wants you to tell Him anyway. He said in His Word that before you call on Him, He will answer you and while you are yet speaking, He will hear you. Let God restore your peace and sanity. Take a step towards Him and He will walk the rest of the length to get to you. All it takes is a willing heart.
Let God guide you into the peace He promised you.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Reminds me of this song
Like you said, sin has always been around and it gets worse everyday. Unthinkable things are happening. But should that make us give up, frightened? No, i don't think so. God says He's with us. As long as you want him in your life, so be it. You will always sail through. Thanks @olawalium
God is always with us. Thanks for this brilliant comment.
It's always a pleasure
Hello @olawalium, it is true GOD knows where it hurts and what we need, I believe that everything is a matter of faith, if we ask the Lord with total certainty that he will give us, we will obtain what we want since GOD knows everything in advance that afflicts us, the point is not to allow our faith to weaken.
It's definitely a matter of faith as you have said. So true.
Hello @olawalium, peace has always been the best guide to face this world no matter how difficult it gets.
And who else to give it than God. So true.
If you want peace then you have to go to Almighty Allah. You will find peace in worshipping Allah.
Absolutely, God is the peace we should seek and that's why He sent Jesus to reconcile the world to Himself.
We are the follower of Muhammad (pubh). Almighty sent him to rescue us from dark ages to the path of light. We believe jesus is still alive and he will come again to rescue us from dajjal.
Jesus is definitely coming back to take His own. Very true.
He will kill dajjal at bab-e-lud.
Without worship of Allah people can’t get peace properly, when you can fill Him deep in your heart, then you will get peace, so we find out the right path how can we worship Him, how can we find Him.
We need to find God and Jesus is the way to that. God is the answer to our problems.
Positive peace is the restoration of relationships, establishment of justice,
and the creation of just social systems that serve the needs of the whole
population
That's why God reconciled us to Himself through Jesus. True.
God guide us a way of peace, we have to follow the way.
He is always willing to guide us
Oh God, You are the source of peace & peace comes from You alone.
That's certain and true.
some wicked man create chaos. we should stop chaos and work for peace
We can only if we believe in Jesus. He is the Prince of Peace.
