What words come to mind when you hear the word “peace”?

[@melaniemartin730]

For me, it's tranquility!😂😂😂

[@shairibeloveddaughter]

Absence of worries

[@melaniemartin730]

​@@shairibeloveddaughterwhy worry?🕍🕍🕍

[@shairibeloveddaughter]

​@@melaniemartin730 I too, always ask myself HAHA but the same answer always is I'm not connected to the Vine, to Jesus

[@Lovelife10934]

Silent

[@christianmorrow3254]

I was worried about having low funds, this past weekend. My 9 year old daughter, however, showed me that with her money (just $60), she was still willing to go out of her way and pay for dinner for both of us. Therefore, she showed me that I have to put my trust into God-NOT how much money is in my bank account. Amen 🙏🏽!

[@user-qq4zn3or3h]

Amen

[@christianxbolt]

I'm praying for you and your family.

[@melaniemartin730]

Absolutely.💀💀💀

[@heatherdinsdale8494]

For decades, depression and anxiety were ignored by pulpits globally, and people experiencing them felt condemned and alone. Pastor Craig has demonstrated understanding and compassion and has given us biblical ways to overcome them. May the Lord continue to bless him and give him wisdom. Shalom shalom.

[@melaniemartin730]

Why this?🔵🔵🔵

[@CB-fo2pv]

Believing for healing over my teenage sons mind. He's been having depression and anxiety and missing a lot of school. As a mom, I feel helpless. God I'm trusting that you will give him Your peace.

[@zjjman1]

I will be praying for your son. From elementary to high school I dealt with severe anxiety to where I was constantly missing school and the depression came on so strong. My mom always prayed and prayed and I guarantee you she felt hopeless at times. I was living for the world and broken and anytime she warned me about things I thought it would go in one ear and out the other but what she was doing was planting seeds. The harvest didn’t happen right away but she kept loving me and praying for me. God still heals today, I definitely want to encourage your son to get prayed over for healing. The one thing I’m so grateful my mom did was get me in church and get me in a good youth group with good community. I am a living testament to know that this is not the permanent story for your son and that his story does not stop here, God has so much more for him.

[@gig713]

Jesus, I need peace in the midst of life’s chaos & struggles. The kind of peace only you can give. The enemy is working so hard to shake me with fear & worry. Jesus, i surrender to you. I pray for peace for all my loved ones & those who need peace in their lives. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
