An ancient prayer says:
​​
"When anxiety is great within me, Your comfort brought me joy." (Psalm 94:19)
​​​
"Why my soul, are you sad? Why so disturbed within me?" (Psalm 42:5)
​
"Do not let your hearts be troubled" ( John 14:1)
​​​​​
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you"
(1 Peter 5:7)
​​​​​​
​How have others found peace when life felt overwhelming?​​​​​​​​​​​

The Bible begins with Honesty -
Not Performance
​​​
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted" (Psalm 34:18)
​​​
and Jesus said:
​​​
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
​​​​​​​​​​
Who is Jesus - Really?​
​​​​
Jesus experienced grief, pressure, rejection and distress. He once said:
​​
"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow."
(Mark 14:34)
​​​​
and was described as one who:
​​​
"Is able to understand our weaknesses."
(Hebrews 4:15)​​​
Jesus did more than teach about peace:
​​
"Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
(Romans 5:1)​​
What if God is Not Distant?
​​
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you (personally)." (1 Peter 5:7)
​​
Jesus said:
​​
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives." (John 14:27)
​​​​
A Simple First Step
​​​
If you are unsure what you believe, you could start here:

If you care, show me."
