Jesus Visions

Bible Verses About Peace (For an Anxious Heart)

Jesus looks toward you with compassion just after sunset, a small oil lamp burning beside him.

Peace in the Bible is not the absence of trouble. It is a rest given to you inside it. These are the passages families read when the world will not stop.

The verses

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 14:27 (KJV)

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6–7 (KJV)

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Matthew 11:28–29 (KJV)

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalm 46:10 (KJV)

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Romans 15:13 (KJV)

When to read them

  • In bed, once you have put the phone down.
  • In the car in a parking lot before you drive home.
  • Before the meeting you cannot get out of.
  • When a friend texts "please pray" and you don't know the words.

Send it as a film

If someone in your family cannot sleep at night, a short prayer film in Jesus's voice with their name in it is worth having on their phone. A Prayer Film for Them.
