God's Truth: Peace

1. God sometimes allows storms in our lives to help us grow stronger.

2. God promises to be with us in the "storms" (difficulties or hard times) of life.

3. We give our worry, our problems-our "storm"-to God. And He gives us His calm and His peace.

4. God's best gift to us is the gift of His presence.
