Again, we'll be meditating on 44 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: John chapter fourteen, verse twenty seven. From the King James version, 45 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: it says peace. I leave with you my peace. I 46 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: give unto you, not as the world giveth, give ie 47 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: unto you. Let not your heart beat troubled, neither let 48 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: it be afraid. Let us take time to adore God 49 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: in these moments. God, I worship you, for you are 50 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: who you say you are. I praise you for granting 51 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: me your unmatched peace, a peace that surpasses all knowledge 52 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: and understanding. I praise you for your loving kindness over me. God, 53 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: I worship you, for you are always with me. You 54 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: never leave me, nor forsake me. I praise you for 55 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 3: your care over me in this time of need. My 56 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 3: friend's grief is one of, if not the most difficult 57 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: emotions to process. Grief can overwhelm the heart, and it 58 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: can paralyze the mind with fear. But Jesus can help 59 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: you deal with grief. Why because he offers you his peace. 60 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: The peace of God is different from what this world 61 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 3: has to offer. Human peace is dependent upon control of circumstances. 62 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: It requires everything to be going well in order for 63 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: it to be real. That's not so with God. Jesus 64 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 3: offers a peace that will prevail against all odds. It 65 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: is tranquility in the middle of the storm, a solid 66 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: foundation amidst shifting sands. The peace Christ offers is not 67 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: contingent on your control or your understanding, just your acceptance. 68 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: His peace is the reassurance that no matter what, God 69 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 3: is in control. Not only is he in control, but 70 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: also He has a plan, and not just any plan, 71 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 3: He has the best plan. Because God is who he is, 72 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 3: his peace reigns supreme. So confess your grief to God 73 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: right now, for he is waiting for you. Let us 74 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: now thank God for his peace. Thank Him for his 75 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: peace that is divine. Thank God that you do not 76 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: have to live under fear. Thank Him for peace in 77 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: the healing process. Thank Jesus. Then, in the middle of 78 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: your grief you have his assurance, and thank him that 79 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: you can trust that He will work all things out 80 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 3: for good. God is present and he is listening to you. 81 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 3: He cares for you, and he longs to ease your suffering. 82 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: This is your moment to reach out to him. Ask 83 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: God to reassure your heart in this difficult time. Ask 84 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: Him to grant you his peace that surpasses all understanding, 85 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 3: Peace that is greater than any circumstance or situation. Ask 86 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit to help you receive this peace and 87 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: to trust in his word. Remember, God promised to give 88 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: you his peace. God's peace is greater than anything the 89 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: world has to offer. It prevails all obstacles and triumphs. 90 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: Over all fear. 91 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: Have courage, and know that you're not alone. God is 92 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: for you and he will help you through this. With 93 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: God's peace, when it reigns in our hearts, my friends, 94 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: you can overcome anything.
