Jesus said these words to the disciples right before His arrest. He knew what He faced and wanted to prepare them and uplift them as best He could given the pain and grief they were about to face.

The words ring true for us today as we face trials and unexpected challenges everyday. Our hearts beat frantically when a crisis strikes and our mind races with every “What if…?” Imaginable. We map out the worst possible scenarios in a matter of seconds as shame, fear, doubt and panic overtake our logical mind.

Yet, there is a way to settle our soul. Remembering Jesus’s words and allowing His peace to enter the scene changes everything. Well, maybe not everything, but it settles us and brings us out of panic mode so we can think, plan, or wait for a resolution.

While taking a moment to breathe, trust, and remember the truth doesn’t necessarily change the situation, it can change how we navigate it.
