       In fact, to capture this thought, let’s consider what Jesus told his disciples right before his crucifixion, back in John, where we were a second ago, which was a time of heightened stress (at least for him, and one of which was about to be for the disciples). He said to them, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27, ESV). Wow. This means that no matter what the times, even in times of trouble, we have Jesus’ peace. And, we are not supposed to let our hearts be troubled, neither to let them be afraid. That means we have to choose not to do that because we know who our God is, and our standing with him. As all of us realize, however, that’s much easier said than done, isn’t it?
