For 9 May 2023, Tuesday of the fifth week of Easter, based on John 14:27-31a
Jesus said to his disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, “I am going away, and I am coming to you.” If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me; but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.”

A very consoling commentary! We need to take these words to heart because we go through anxieties and lose our trust in God unnecessarily!! Very true for me I know! Thankyou!!

Excellent. I too find myself distressed almost daily. A good reminder to always rest in God’s peace.
