He Himself is our Peace
Ephesians 2:14
To ask Jesus to give you peace is redundant. Peace isn't something He gives you to sustain you during troubled times. He is peace and to experience His indwelling life is to experience Peace that passes understanding. Because Christ is the sources of your life, there is never time when peace cannot be your default setting.
In John 14:27, Jesus told his disciples, 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 troubles, nor let it be fearful." The world offers peace based on the hope that things Will turn to okay. Jesus gives a different of kind of peace. He has given you Himself. He will be your source of peace regardless of how things turn out in your situation.
You can trust Him with the circumstances that are emotionally and mentally challenging. Your peace isn't in a specific outcome but in the one who assures you that there is no need to be troubled or fearful whatever comes, it will be all right because He is with you to carry you through it.
