Before Jesus went to the cross, he explained to his followers that he was going away. However, he left them with a beautiful promise. Jesus realized that they were about to experience some of the most difficult days of their lives but he promised them peace. That promise was not just for his first followers, it also included you. Think about how that promise affects you today, even though it was a promise given many years ago.

Everyone is looking for peace. Not many people love chaos โ unless theyโre a toddler in a McDonaldโs Play Place. We want peace. How comforting is it to you to know that no matter what you face, Jesus will give you peace in the situation? You donโt have to earn this peace. You can simply receive it because Jesus freely gives it. Thank Jesus for giving peace in the midst of chaos. Remember that even in the midst of seeing their savior arrested, beaten, and crucified, Jesus first followers still experienced incredible peace.

It sometimes feels like weโre stuck running a race to get things done, be the best, do everything, and earn everyoneโs approval. But if you want to keep running, youโve got to rest. For the next 40 days, what if you made it a habit to rest in Godโs presence?
