Happy Fourth of July! Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Jesus comforts us with His words: Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid (Jn 14:27). He leaves us with His peace; Jesus gives His peace to us. Yes, it is His peace, not the peace the world can give. Embrace His peace. Heart of Jesus, our peace and reconciliation, have mercy on us.
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
(Ph 4:6-7)
