Where you find yourself worrying, or overwhelmed, or powerless in the face of hostile power, take Jesus at his word. He leaves us with his gift of peace. Make your fears your offering to God. Resist the delusion you must wait until all is well around you for you to know peace within your own heart. Jesus promises us peace, something which Saint Paul discovered was paradoxically true as he faced his own impending death.He called it “the peace which surpasses understanding.”
