Struggling with anxiety that never goes away? You’ve tried vision boards, meditation apps, and perfect budgets - but worldly peace shatters the moment life doesn’t go to plan. Discover the biblical peace that Jesus offers in John 14:27: a peace the world cannot give, that guards your heart even when everything feels out of control.

In this Bible devotional, Salvation Army officer Rob Westwood-Payne shares his personal journey from exhausting self-reliance to finding God’s supernatural calm. Learn how to trade worry for prayer (Philippians 4:6-7), trust God’s provision over your own control (Matthew 6:26), and experience the peace that surpasses understanding - even in life’s chaos.
