Restore Peace

Life is busy – and it only seems to be getting busier. Amid the chaos, anxiety, and lack of control, God has a plan; and that plan is one of peace, simplicity, trust, and surrender. As life attempts to toss us about, we can learn to make Jesus our anchor so that we can experience His peace that surpasses all understanding.
