Do not let your heart be troubled

Sorrow, troubling thoughts and fear rob us of joy and peace. Jesus does not want us to live anxious and with a heavy heart.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14,27

Jesus gave you his peace. A peace that can’t be shattered by anybody or anything. Jesus knows that sorrow and fear can get our hearts in turmoil, which is why he said: “Do not let your heart be troubled!” That’s the key how you silence the voices of sorrow and fear. You don’t have to worry about how the problems will get solved. That’s God’s job. Your job is to guard your heart. Whenever sorrowful thoughts and fears bother you, say it: “Do not let your heart be troubled!” By doing so, you remind yourself that Jesus has everything under control and he already knows how he is going to solve the problem. By not letting your heart be troubled, you keep the peace of God in your heart. Try it and you will see, how your heart will calm down and the assurance that Jesus has everything under control will take root in your heart.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4,23

Before you take care of anything else, guard your heart. You exactly do this by not letting your heart be troubled. Cast out sorrow and fear by reminding yourself that Jesus has everything under control. Do not let your heart be troubled! Whenever you say this, you make yourself dependent on Jesus and his abilities. It’s a confession that you can’t do it on your own and fixing your eyes on the one who will turn everything around for your good.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1. Peter 5,7

Do not let sorrow poison your heart, but cast them to Jesus, he cares for you. The next time sorrow, fear or other troubling thoughts are coming up, just say: “Do not let your heart be troubled!”
