How can I find peace?

Matthew 11:28Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

Jesus promises his peace to all who come to him in trusting faith.

Romans 5:1-2Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

Knowing our eternal destiny—having “peace with God”—gives us ultimate peace and security.

Philippians 4:6-7Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Being in constant communication with the God of peace gives us real peace. When we experience anxiety or restlessness, telling God our troubles will help us rest in faith and experience his peace.
