Messy Days

Messy Days

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

—John 14:27

The world around you is a mess. Crime, wars, drugs—there’s bad news every time you turn on the television. And sometimes that mess invades your day. A friend betrays you, something is stolen out of your locker, or someone you know is hurt. But what is happening around you doesn’t have to shake you up.

Trust Me—even in the midst of a messy day. When you start to feel stressed, stop focusing on the problems. Instead, reach out to Me. Let Me show you things from My point of view. Remember that My Peace—the Peace that I give you—isn’t affected by the mess of this world.

Don’t be afraid and don’t be troubled. Seek My Face, and I will lift you up above the mess.

Love,

Jesus
