This document discusses finding peace during times of conflict and chaos, both on a global scale like political unrest and mass shootings, and personally through hardships like job loss, health issues, or unanswered prayers. It defines peace as more than just the absence of conflict, but also deliverance, welfare, and wholeness. The document suggests that Jesus is the source of true peace, as he promised to leave his followers with his peace in John 14:27-28 and that only through pursuing a relationship with Jesus can one experience the peace that transcends understanding, as described in Philippians 4:7.

8. JOHN 14:27-28
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I
give you. I do not give to you as the
world gives. Do not let your hearts be
troubled and do not be afraid. 28 “You
heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am
coming back to you.’ If you loved me,
you would be glad
that I am going to the Father,
for the Father is greater than I.

And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus.
