I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.\u201d <strong>John 16:22<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For each of us, at some time or other, we are either walking into or coming right out of a difficult time. For the believer we understand this truth &#8211; there is suffering on the path of life. We have our times of sunshine and of shadow; times of joy and of sorrow; times of turmoil and of rest; times of strength and of weakness; times of fulfillment and times of being set aside; times when we long for God\u2019s presence and times when He\u2019s closer than the closest friend. None of us will escape the times when, above all else, we need the comfort and abiding peace of the suffering God who comes alongside with His presence and His grace. We find comfort and peace knowing the Savior lives within.<\/p>\n<p>Living each day with our Lord is the way to inner stillness and peace of heart and mind. It is to rest in the peace Jesus promised to His disciples.<\/p>\n<p>Peace independent of circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Peace dependent upon the fulfillment of His promise.<\/p>\n<p>So if the road you&#8217;re traveling just now is rough, don&#8217;t give up. Remember you are not alone because God has promised He will never leave you nor forsake you. One day soon the rough road will come to an end and the lessons learned on it can become a way of life for the future. We\u2019re not victims of our circumstances, but children of a compassionate Father, whose love is infinite and unfailing.<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s name is \u2018I am\u2019. It\u2019s not \u2018I was\u2019 or \u2018I will be\u2019. We have the promise of His presence; the presence of our Savior, Lord and King, who is also our best and heavenly Friend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today<\/strong>: <em>Dear Heavenly Father, please teach me to live each day with You, trusting You with all the days of my life. Thank You for the peace Jesus promised &#8211; the peace which banishes fear. I receive that peace as a gift today.
