NEW SERIES: Do Not Be Afraid

This guided Christian meditation on John 14 reminds us that Jesus leaves us peace, so we do not need to be afraid. If your heart feels troubled, this meditation will help you find peace.

Some say there are 365 verses of Scripture that tell us not to be afraid, one for each day. I'm not sure that's entirely accurate, but here's what I do know: Scripture speaks about fear A LOT.

There is no shortage of things that make us feel fear. 

However, we actually have very little control over much of what causes us to feel fear, which means the feeling of fear isn't doing us any favors. 

Fear preoccupies our hearts and minds, causes us to lose sleep, and causes our bodies to experience an overload of stress. Unnecessary fear is simply a tool the enemy uses to render us ineffective. 

And that's why the Bible speaks to fear over and over again.

God doesn't want us to fear because he wants us to thrive, live in trust and peace, and remember that he has good plans for us.

Jesus knew this would be our struggle, so he stated: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Find a quiet space, take a few deep breaths, and allow Jesus' words to lead you to his peace.

The entire meditation text is as follows:

John 14:1, 25-27, NIV

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

"All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
