Publisher's Synopsis
Not too long ago, I experienced a time in my life that was filled with anxiety, uncertainty, fear, and general sadness. It was during that dark and lonely time in my life that I began studying all the Biblical references to peace. I wrote verses on sticky notes and put them around my house and car. Every evening I read my Bible and journaled my thoughts. I found great comfort from these verses, and I felt that God wanted me to share what I had learned throughout this process. This journal is an extension of that. This is a semi-guided Bible study journal. I've included many of the verse references that I have studied in my journey to find peace. At the beginning of the journal, in the section titled "Getting started," I suggest a few questions to ponder as you go through this study. I think it's important to take a deeper look at peace - what is it, exactly? What can we expect from it? What should we expect from it? How can finding "inner peace" really affect our lives? And, most of all, is it even possible Not every daily verse or memory verse will have an obvious reference to the word "peace." But if you allow these questions to guide you as you read, you might be surprised to find that the Peace of God is woven into every facet of our existence. God's word is living and breathing, and He might speak to you in different ways than he speaks to me. My purpose for creating this journal is not to tell you "the answers." The purpose of this journal is to inspire you to find the answers in God's word. I believe it's really important that you do your own study and exegesis. That's why I'm calling this a " guided journal" and not a "devotional."
