Jesus beckons, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] . . . Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] 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 afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]” ~ Matthew 11:28 (AMPC), John 14:27 (AMP)

“…in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” And, “I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.” ~ John 16:33 (AMPC), Matthew 28:20b (AMP)

Thank You, God that “You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].” For “The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.” ~ Isaiah 26:3 (AMP), Psalm 29:11 (AMPC)

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 4:6-7 (Living Bible)

Therefore, “In peace [and with a tranquil heart] I will both lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety and confident trust.” ~ Psalm 4:8 (AMP)

“Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace (the peace of His kingdom) at all times and in all ways [under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes]. The Lord [be] with you all.” ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (AMPC)
