John 14:27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
I don't know about you, but I am feeling much more peaceful within myself with these verses taking hold in my heart. It is true....Jesus came to bring us peace. Did you realize there were so many Scriptures to assure us to place our confidence in Jesus and what He has done for us? And that we have no reason to be fearful or lead lives characterized by anxiety and angst? Jesus seems to really want to get across to us that He is taking care of things...our future has been secured....we just need to place our trust in Him and rely on His ability to transport us into our Father's eternal home.
That leads perfectly into our next verse of assurance to add to our list...here is Number 8 of our set of 10 of wonderful assurances given to us...
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace the mind that is dependent on You, for it is trusting in You.
Lord God, give me a mind of perfect peace...help me to trust You with every aspect of my life. I know that that kind of trust leads to peace, because You take away all anxiety. Your care removes fear and brings comfort. Let me rest in You, knowing that You are taking care of me. Thank You Lord for all of your wonderful gifts, but tonight I thank You for Your gift of peace. Help me to completely accept this gift and live in it every day. It's only because of Jesus that I can ask these things and it is completely and absolutely in His name that I pray. Amen.

A lot of verses and a lot of assurance. Christ tells us so many times about His Love. Our trust and faith keeps us secure. Secure to know that we are loved and provided for. Our peaceful mind can only come from our God. I am thankful for the peace God provides for me.
