Again I must say that there is much that tends to cause people to be distressed and anxious--just watch the first few minutes of the evening news.
As for Believers, God tells us in His word,
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which passes all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:6-7

Peace is the gift of God, abundant and perfect as the following Scriptures state.
“The LORD will give strength to His people;
 The LORD will bless His people with peace.”  Psalm 29:11

“Great peace have those who love Your law,
 And nothing causes them to stumble.”  Psalm 119:165

“You will keep him in perfect peace,
 Whose mind is stayed on You,
 Because he trusts in You.
 Trust in the LORD forever,
 For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.”  Isaiah 26:3-4

This peace only comes from, through, and in Christ!
“For He Himself is our peace…”  Ephesians 2:14
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28

I would like to share with you an example of peace that I read in “Streams in the Desert, Vol. 1” compiled by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman.  It is a peace that comes when we rest in Christ.

“Two painters each painted a picture to illustrate his conception of rest.
The first chose for his scene a still, lone lake among the far-off  mountains.
The second threw on his canvas a thundering waterfall, with a fragile birch tree bending over the foam; and at the fork of the branch, almost wet with the cataract’s spray, sat a robin on its nest.
The first was only STAGNATION; the last was REST.”

Even in the midst of hard circumstances we are to: rejoice always,
cast our cares on Him, fret not, let not our hearts be troubled, be anxious for nothing and in everything give thanks!

As Colossians 3:15 says.
“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were
 called in one body; and be thankful.” 

Hallelujah!  God is in control.  We belong to Him, so let us rest in Christ Jesus and give Him free hand to work in our lives so that God may ‘conform us to the image of His Son’ as He takes us through each circumstance.

“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 1:6

As the song goes:
Let there be glory and honor and praises,
Glory and honor to Jesus.
Glory, honor; glory and honor to Him.”

Let it be so now and forever!  Amen
