Scripture Collection 4: Peace

We hear a lot about peace in the world around us: people want global peace, others try to be peacemakers to stop conflict - and then we also find God talking about peace in His Word. As His followers, we're called to live in peace and have been promised peace as a blessing from Him. But what does it look like to live and walk in God's peace in our lives?

There are many Scriptures that talk about the peace of God, so I'd encourage you to look more up on your own, but here's ten verses that encourage me to walk in the peace God offers to us.
