Do you have peace?  Do you want peace?  Do you believe peace is possible, especially in the day and age in which we live?  I fully believe it is possible.  I have experienced it for myself. 

Peace can come to us the moment we open our eyes and take in the light of day.  We can breathe in the peace of God because He has come to dwell with us.  Just over 2000 years ago, God sent His only son, Jesus, to be the Savior of the World.  And one of the names and characteristics Jesus has is that He is the Prince of Peace.  He rules it.  He is the source of it.  It is His to give. 

I have asked Jesus to be a part of my life, and His presence results in peace.  He calms storms of all kinds.  He removes the sting of death.  He does miracles.  He cleanses me from every sin.  He has restored my soul and made it acceptable in the sight of God.  I never have to worry about walking alone because He has said He will never leave me nor forsake me.  I don’t have to worry about what will happen when I die because He has already assured me that since I gave myself to Him, I can never be plucked from His hand.  I do not have to worry about decision making because He gives wisdom to those who ask for it.  I do not have to worry about my needs being met because He is the provider and sustainer.  I do not have to toss and turn at night but instead can sleep in peace because He is omnipotent and will care for those who are His own. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the LORD with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding.  If we acknowledge Him in all our ways, He is going to direct our paths.  I could go on and on with example after example of the things I can know for certain and how this knowledge brings peace.  You can know these things, too.  It simply starts with you coming to the Savior of the World, the Prince of Peace, and giving your life to Him.

This is how peace comes.
