"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
JOHN 14:26-27
Jesus knows the troubles, hardships and perils of this world. He lived it, conquered it and allows us to live with him in his peace. He didn't come to say - "Here, I conquered all - now you do it." No - He conquered life so we too can live.
Forsake this world and give your life to Jesus. He will renew your heart and mind into his heavenly comforts bringing peace and love. Through Jesus alone can we only ever truly say, "Let your heart not be troubled."
Jesus alone is the well for peace. To receive his peace, you must turn to him and seek his amazing grace. There are times where ignorance on a matter may allow temporary peace, but at once you are no longer ignorant a level of uneasiness and disturbance will rise from within. If there is a thing that keeps you from turning to the face of Jesus in the immediate time of distress, seek forgiveness from God. Pray to him and allow the words of your heart to be spoken to him. God is love and desires you to be made whole in him.
Relying on your own understanding to get through worry will not provide the peace of Christ. It is when you come unto the Lord Jesus Christ that you no longer worry because your face is set to him and he will prepare your way.
