In the 13th chapter of John's Gospel, Jesus is with His disciples at the Feast of the Passover. He washes their feet, tells of His betrayal, and the denial of Peter. Then, in the opening verses of chapter 14, Jesus says:
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Again, in verse 27, Jesus said:
"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
I like this little quote from Oswald Chambers:
"When a person confers with Jesus Christ, the confusion stops, because there is no confusion in Him. Lay everything out before Him, and listen to Him say, "Let not your heart be troubled . . . ."
Then, you will be able to sing with P. P. Bilhorn:
"Peace, peace, sweet peace!
Wonderful gift from above!
Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace!
Sweet peace, the gift of God's love"!
