John 14:1

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.

From Background Notes [BN] for December 22nd & 23rd written by Pastor Bob Brown:

And peace —shalom — from the hand of Jesus promises to alleviate the trouble and the fear. The Greek word ēreinē has this underlying meaning of “calming, quieting,” and fits nicely into the present context.

There is reconciling peace and then there is calming peace. One is relational, and the other is personal.  [BN, 4-5]
