The Key to Peace
One of the ways that God has ministered to me is through the power of His Word. Jesus said, " I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
I drink deeply from the well of His word daily.
In the midst of tribulation, Christ is the key to my peace. It is only through His power that I can receive it. Whether He calms the storm itself, or calms me within the storm, I can rest assured that He will be with me, and that there is no need to endure it on my own.

Emily, I am not sure what you have to deal with, but whatever it may be, I'm sorry for your burdens. You have a lovely attitude about it. I know that for myself, having a right spirit is key to enduring the things that are not easy.
Love,
Lynn
Beautiful reminder! We are learning what it means to surrender and trust Father, it is not easy!
I echo Chaotic Beauty's comment...it's not easy. I am there today and your words have encouraged me. Thank you.
Lynn,
I have a back condition that prevents me from enjoying many activities. Maybe one day the Lord will see fit to remove my physical burden, but until then, I hope to serve Him as best I can. Thank you for caring, and for your encouraging comments.
Chaotic Beauty,
Yes, it is a learning process, even for our brother Paul who "learned" to be content in all circumstances. I'm so grateful for his example to follow.
Silvana,
I'm so happy my post encouraged you today. It blesses me to be used by the Lord in such a manner. May you find comfort in His word.
Amen, and amen. Thank you for the encouragement :)
Oh, you have no idea how much I needed to be reminded of this. Your post is beautiful. Beautiful images and beautiful reminders that we are never alone.

Mrs. Taft,
You are so very welcome!
Karen,
Thank you, and I am so glad the Lord used me to minister to you. May your soul find rest in Him today.
I am sorry that you have had so much pain. You seem to handle it with such grace. Thanks for the prayers.
Marci,
You are welcome. My body may be broken but I can still lift my voice and heart in prayer.
Emily, I will drink deeply of the living water with you.
Pure.
Clear.
Satisfying.
