HIStory: A Six Week Study of the Gospel of JohnSample
“True Joy”
I can imagine that at this time the disciples are feeling worried, confused, and anxious. Jesus acknowledged this and assured them that His joy was coming. He acknowledged that we will have troubles, but assures us that He is greater than all our troubles! Whatever you are facing today, know that His joy and peace can carry you through it.
Do you realize that even in the midst of struggles, that you can still have joy? Even in the midst of a great storm, Jesus gives us His Spirit so we can experience peace during the storm. In the same way that the eye of a storm is calm, so our hearts can be at peace when we face terrible storms.
Do you have a joy that isn’t defined by your circumstances? If not, ask God to give you His Spirit and His peace in the middle of your situation.
Pray this prayer…
God, I need your peace right now. My world feels so uncertain right now, but I know that you are my anchor. Please give me joy and peace in the midst of this storm. Amen.

About this Plan
Jesus was more than just a figurative religious voice. He actually walked this earth as a man revealing to us the full nature of God. One of his best friends, John, took time to write down for us the account of his life, ministry, and teachings. This six-week study through the Gospel of John is not only history, but it’s also His Story.
