John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
What do you do when the storm of life comes with full rage at you? The peace of God Almighty is enough to calm every tension and every turmoil. However, many people do not know this, instead, they run Helter-skelter even to places where they will never get help from.

The world is filled with so many troubles, from economy breakdown to societal constitutional problems, to family problems and so many more. It seems the peace of the world has been taken away by an unknown force. Even the rich and wealthy also run around or because they lack peace. If there was any prayer a man should say it must be a prayer of peace. It is God alone that can give peace to a man. Even the rich and wealthy cannot buy it with material wealth. Little wonder they say the rich also cry.
Peace comes from the inner part of the mind, a feeling of contentment, satisfaction, and security. Remember in the scripture while Christ and his disciples were sailing on a boat. Christ went asleep for some minutes and the peace of the ocean was threatened by a wild storm. His disciples despite having Christ in the boat with them became so terrified that they began to do everything possible to keep the boat from capsizing, however, their best seems not to be enough. And all the while they struggled to keep the boat together, Christ was in a corner of the boat sleeping peacefully like there was no harm or danger at all.
When they went to wake Christ from his sleep, he stood up and spoke to the storm and immediately peace and tranquility were restored. There are some lessons to learn from the incident. The first lesson is that there is no knowledge forged by a mortal man that can bring peace. Apostle Peter was on the boat with them, and he was a professional fisherman. If there was a degree for Fishing, Apostle Peter should have a Doctorate degree. And one of the prerequisites to becoming a successful fisherman is the ability to sail professionally and understand the lay of the ocean well enough. However, when the storm came, even Apostle Peter was as helpless as the remaining Apostles.
This lesson has established the fact that only God can give peace to a man. Even to the extent of speaking words that will bring peace instead of a sword, only God can grant a man such Wisdom. So instead of sitting back and cry in that situation of great turmoil that has sent peace packing out of your life, the best thing you should rather do is take it to God in prayers.
Just maybe you want to pray but you do not know the words to say, this article of 20 prayer points for inner peace in turmoil should help.
