Until we accept by faith the blood that was shed by Jesus for our sins, we are at war with God. Jesus grants us peace with God.
Jesus gives us peace with God, then gives us the Peace that comes from God
This peace can be partially interrupted by uncertainty, untruths, unforgiveness, unrighteous living, and unconfessed sin.
Paul exhorts us to bring our anxious thoughts to prayer and meditate on specific things that bring peace.
Peace is not the absence of difficult circumstances. Peace is the presence of God.
People who have experienced trauma need to include others in the process of walking out from under the burden of carrying these fears.
