Finding Genuine Peace Today

Jesus Christ is guiding truth-hungry people along the way that leads to everlasting life in an earthly paradise. As he guides them to the pure worship of God, they experience peace similar to that described in the Bible:  "My people must dwell in a peaceful abiding place and in residence of full confidence and in undisturbed resting places." (Isaiah 32:18) And that is only a foretaste of the peace that they will enjoy in the future.  We read: "The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, an they will indeed find their delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." -Psalm 37:11, 29. 

So can we have inner peace today?  Yes, Moreover, we can be sure that  in the near future,  God will bless obedient mankind with peace as never before. Whey not, then, ask him in prayer to give you his peace?  If you have problems that rob you of peace, pray in the way that King David prayed:  "Distresses of my heart have multiplied from the stresses  upon me O bring me out. See my affliction and my trouble, and pardon all my sins." (Psalm 25:17, 18) Be assured that God listens to such prayers. He stretches out  his hand and grants peace to all who seeks it in sincerity of heart. We are lovingly assured:  "Jehovah is near to all those calling upon him, to all those who call upon him  in trueness.   The desire of those  fearing him he will perform, and their cry for help he will hear, and he will save them." -Psalm 145:18, 19.
