I don’t know about you, but I need a reminder about what the bible says about peace right now. There is so much going on in the world and you can almost palpably feel the anxiety. I am so grateful for the truth of the word. It is never changing and never wavers. Here are 10 verses to help anchor you if you are needing some peace.
