We all go through storms in life. Whether we are caught up in the agitation of little daily traumas that tear away at our peace of mind, or face real fears that rage within our hearts, Jesus can calm any storm with a word: "Quiet, be still!" When the disciples first witnessed Jesus' power to bring peace, they were amazed: "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!" We will be amazed too.
The gift of peace can come quietly, unexpectedly - as you gaze at the soft glow of a candle during a hushed quiet time, as you walk in the woods and feel God close. It can come even in a glimpse out the window, as your eye beholds the beauty outside. It can come through the loving gesture of a friend. It can come through laughter or tears... or simply silence. It can come through prayer. Peace be to you," Jesus says. To you.( Read Mark 4:35-41) AUTHOR: Betsy Lee

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 (John 16:33).
