Bible Verses for Peace & Calm
World English Bible
In a chaotic, noisy world, the peace that the Bible describes can seem out of reach. But the peace God offers is not the absence of problems — it is a deep, settled calm in the midst of them. Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you" (John 14:27).
