Peace is hard to find right now. All around us is healthcare and economic chaos as the world experiences the COVID-19 pandemic. “Stay At Home” orders separate us from our families and limit us to voice and video interactions. We work via remote connections and protect ourselves with masks if we have to venture outside our homes. So where do we find peace? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Peace<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don’t let your heart be troubled<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our peace comes from the only true Giver of Peace. He tells us in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.” Jesus is our source of peace in this time of chaos and turmoil. I encouraged you that we can find peace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music can bring peace to your soul<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This evening, I left my home office and wandered down to the living room to sit at the piano. When frustrated or anxious, playing the piano for an audience of two (myself and the Lord) brings calm and peace to my soul. Playing through old gospel songs reminds me that He is in control. He holds tomorrow and he holds my hand. He will keep me safe until this storm passes by, and I am sheltered in the arms of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the old hymn Peace, Peace, Wonderful Peace.<\/strong> When my oldest granddaughter was a toddler, I would sing that chorus to her when she would get upset during the day or work herself into a frenzy at naptime. As I would sing, she would settle and relax. When she learned to talk, she learned the words and sang along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
