We are aware that in the world there will be tribulation. So how can the Lord say let not your heart be troubled? It is because He promises to leave us and give us peace. He says "not as the world gives, do I give to you." Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Any peace aside from the peace He gives is a counterfeit. The greatest cause of tribulation in our life is when we look to ourself for our own sufficiency instead of looking to our Savior. We were never equipped to work apart from God. It wasn't true in the Garden of Eden and it isn't true today. Peace apart from Christ is havoc and sufficiency apart from the Lord is mayhim.
Daily Prayer: Lord, let us begin each day and end every day in Your presence. Let us not think so highly of ourself that we become our own god. Instead of independence, teach us dependance which is the only way to life. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
