How Does Jesus Provide Us Peace? 🕊️

The Bible answers that question.....

"You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You."
Isaiah 26:3
And that is the struggle for so many. The trouble is so real and sometimes God seems so far away. I think the OP points people to the answer you have pointed out from scripture: we need to keep our minds fixed on Jesus regardless of what's going on in our lives. The peace results because it is a promise from God. But, as you certainly well know, all of this is part of how we learn to trust God; God uses our circumstances to teach us and draw us.
 
Believers have the Holy Spirit living in us so we have the fruit of the Spirit. Peace is 1 of the fruits of the Spirit. :bible: Galatians 5;16-26.
The problem for many people is this: while the peace is automatically made available, it isn't automatically experienced. We can feel joy when things are good; but oh boy! let real troubles arise and that joy seems to disappear! It takes the schoolroom of trials to bring us to a point where our faith in God through Jesus Christ is so firmly fixed and unshakable that our joy bubbles up despite our circumstances.
