Not the absence of trouble — peace in Scripture is something given to you in the middle of it.
“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”
"Be Still and Know That I Am God"
You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.
Perfect Peace for Those Who Trust
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
"Come to Me and I Will Give You Rest"
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.
"My Peace I Give to You"
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
The Peace That Guards Hearts and Minds
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.
God Rests on the Seventh Day
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.
You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
