The Hebrew word translated as “peace” is “shalom”. It means more than the opposite of conflict. It’s about being complete and safe. This is why we ultimately only can find peace in God. Without God we are not complete and not at peace.

1. Psalm 34:14 Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. 

You have a choice in your life. When you are in a conflict, do you seek peace? Take the first step and reach out to anyone you are not at peace with and seek peace.

2. Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

There is blessing and happiness in being a peacemaker. As children of God we are called to seek peace.

3. Romans 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

We know there are conflicts and troublemakers in the world. But the Bible tells us to do what we can to live in peace with everyone.

4. Isaiah 55:12 For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

When you walk with God in peace, everything is different. There may be conflict around you, but worldly conflict and troubles can’t overcome the peace of God.

5. Romans 14:19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.

Actively work for peace, not just for your own sake, but also to build up others around you.

6. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

The Bible wishes for you, and for all to have peace. May God be with you, so that your life will be at peace and complete.

7. Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

The priestly blessing tells us that in God’s presence there is peace. Seek God and you shall find him. God bless you.

When you are feeling anxious or worried, it’s a good idea to go to the Bible. God knows our fears and worries, and the Bible has many words to lift us up, giving hope and relieving us of anxiety.

1. Isaiah 41:13 For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”

You are not alone. God is here, He is with you. This is an important reminder because anxiety can be overwhelming. But God is here to help you.

2. John 14:1 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

God became a man, Jesus Christ, and lived as one of us. He knows your situation. Jesus reminds you to turn to him in faith.

3. Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

When you seek God, the Bible tells us that God will answer. Seek God with all your heart and he will deliver you from your fears.

4. Psalm 94:19 When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

Anxiety can make your heart feel heavy and burdened. Read the Word of God and let God lift you up.

5. Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.

Our fears try to bring us down and trap us. God is our refuge, he is our safe harbour. Put your trust in God.

6. Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

When we let God into our hearts, there is peace. That peace isn’t just for ourselves, but for all who follow Jesus Christ. 

7. Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

We need to keep our faith in God. It can be hard when we are anxious. But ask people around you to pray for you.

Do you know God’s grace? Here are 7 Bible verses to inspire you to understand this grace.

1. Romans 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

To understand God’s grace, we have to acknowledge that we have done what is wrong in God’s eyes. We have sinned. We are in need of forgiveness and redemption.

2. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

God’s grace is a free gift that doesn’t depend on any good deeds you have done. God’s grace is for all who believe in Jesus Christ.

3. James 4:6-7 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

In humility we turn to God and confess that we have done wrong. In humility we receive God’s grace and he will lift us up.

7. Revelation 22:21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
