Scripture:
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”
— John 14:1 (NKJV)
Points:

- He knows what fear feels like and offers Himself.
- Belief in Him steadies what anxiety stirs.
- We are not helpless in our worry; we are called to believe.
- The heart can be trained to rest in Christ’s promises.
Poem: Peace in His Words
The heart stirred like a restless sea.
The waves rose up without a cause.
But then your voice cut through the fog.
You spoke not just to storms around,
But to the fear that lived in me.
“Don’t let it win,” you softly said.
“You know my name. Believe again.”
You didn’t promise ease or speed.
You offered something stronger still—
Yourself, enough for every day.
I held the thought like steady rope.
I pulled it close when lies returned.
Your words became a resting place.
A shelter made of promise strong.
A voice that stills the spinning thoughts.
You did not silence all the storms.
But you gave peace within their reach.
You stood between the fear and me.
You let my heart beat under grace.
You taught me how to breathe again.
Today I choose to hear your voice.
Not the fear that shouts at me.
You are my peace, my solid ground.
You are the one who tells the truth.
You calm the trouble in my chest.
Prayer:
Jesus, my heart is often troubled by things I cannot control. Teach me again to believe in You. Speak peace over my thoughts and give me strength to trust Your presence above my fear. Amen.
