Peace of heart involves choices. Will you let the world tell you what to do with every minute of your day, or will you respond to God? No matter how busy your schedule is, you must find time to feed your soul.

The urgent isn’t always the best.

Jesus found time, even in his busy schedule, for peace. He went away with God time after time. He needed the Father. He craved solitude. It refreshed him so he could face the crowds and the constant demands on his life.

Today, we'll explore this further in our interactive devotional.

KEY PASSAGE:

Mt 14:22-23 (NIV)

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.

You've been wronged, attacked, ridiculed, ignored, rejected, or slighted. It hurts. How can you recapture God’s soul peace when you have a wounded heart? There’s no step-by-step solution. It’s deeper than some textbook answer. You’re in pain and that requires healing.

Can I point you to Jesus? Not as a pat spiritual answer, but as a way to experience the personal healing love of the Savior. Isn’t that what you really need?

Let's go to Jesus together today.

KEY PASSAGE:

Ps 34:8-10, 17-18 (NIV)

Taste and see that the Lord is good;

blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Fear the Lord, you his holy people,

for those who fear him lack nothing.

The lions may grow weak and hungry,

but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;

he delivers them from all their troubles.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you” (Isaiah 26:3 ESV).

Is there such thing as perfect peace?

Our hearts long for perfect peace, which we will only fully experience when we are in the presence of Jesus. We live in a fallen world, in which nothing is perfect. Even peace. Or so it seems. Let's go deeper in this today.

KEY PASSAGE:

Isaiah 26:3-4 (ESV)

You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
