Peace – Week 2 of Advent Dec. 6^th– Dec. 12^th, 2020

Bible Verses about Peace – Comforting Scripture Quotes

The Bible is filled with verses that can bring peace in the middle of struggles, worries, and fear. If we ask God, He promises us HIS peace “that passes all understanding”! When we take time to step back from the pressure of life and come into the presence of God, He is able to speak promises of hope and comfort over our circumstances. Use the Bible verses about peace below for meditation when you feel overwhelmed and do not know the next step to take.

The best thing you can do when you are filled with anxiety and worry is to find a quiet place to pray, read Scripture, and listen to encouraging worship music. God wants you to have a life lived to the fullest and that includes being at peace. You experience the peace of God when you come to Him in humility and accept the blessings He wants for you through Jesus Christ. For further spiritual growth help, use these prayers for peace of mind to calm your anxiety and stress.
