Before Jesus went to heaven to be with God, he spoke with his disciples to comfort them and he said, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you" (14:27). And, he also said, "Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful" (14:27). Jesus said these things so that we will not worry. We may fret about needing to carry an umbrella to protect us from the weather and we may worry about a lot of other things as well, but Jesus tells us that his Spirit will always be with us to give us peace of mind. We are not to worry or be afraid. Let not your hearts be troubled.
