Peace is something we will always strive for. The world is filled with conflict, suffering, natural disasters, death, and many more negative things that impact our lives. But we don’t just need peace in the world, we also need it internally when we find ourselves at war with our own thoughts and feelings, and when outside factors start impacting our well-being. Even if we sometimes forget it, peace is promised to us if we believe in God. Whenever you need a reminder of that, simply open the Bible. Don’t just read through it, but do it with intention. See the meaning behind its words, internalize its truths, and find ways to act on what it teaches in order to reach the peace you chase.
