Jesus’ words in John 14—“Do not let your heart be troubled”—remind us that even in a broken world, peace is possible. The heart, described as our life’s control center, can be weighed down by anxiety, fear, failure, and uncertainty, but Jesus offers a path to live above our circumstances. His strategy? Go to God, go to people, and go to action. This isn’t about escaping reality in a cocoon; it’s about facing life head-on with faith. Like Peter, we may stumble in hard places, but Jesus meets us there. The journey to an untroubled heart begins by stepping into trouble—with courage, honesty, and trust.
