Finding Inner Peace: Best Bible Verses For Healing and Hope
In a world full of distractions, responsibilities and constant noise competing for our attention, it can be quite challenging to practice stillness in order to find your inner peace. We tend to suppress our emotions or look for quick fixes to help numb the pain and seek instant relief. How often do we find ourselves scrolling through social media looking at inspirational quotes, funny memes and motivational videos for healing but are usually left unsatisfied and desiring more. If you identify as a Christian, you understand that although there are these are great resources, the true source of healing and hope comes from our relationship with Christ. And the Bible does a beautiful job of providing us with reminders that we can hold on to during difficult times.
