“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.” (John 14:1)

You don’t have to tolerate a troubled heart. I had a friend whose testimony included a fellow inmate in a Federal Prison handing him a tiny Bible. He said, “You can live here in fear, bondage, and misery or have peace.” My friend read the Bible and found peace. He even began praying for the judge who had sentenced him to 25 years without parole. Shortly afterward, the judge freed him. Years later, I was sad to discover this man was again suffering from a troubled heart but now in a prison without walls. He was forgetting to trust Christ for everything. He had forgotten his freedom.

The heart does not need to be troubled.

Hallelujah! In the throws of life, I can rejoice with a free and happy heart.
