"Do Not Allow Your Heart To Be Troubled..."By Paul Hayden June 1, 2026Our lives can become so complex and troubling at times. How can we find peace in it all? Right now all the answers to all your questions are being sorted out with AI. Or so some people think. I don't think so. The answer may be found in not looking for all the answers, but looking for THE ANSWER. There is a comfort to be found in faith, when we just can't put it all together. After Jesus had been with His closest followers for several years, He knew it was His time to go - soon. He shared with them words of comfort, words of wisdom and direction, and words of faith. In John chapter 14, He said two times, ""Do not let your heart be troubled…" (verse 1 and verse 27), adding “nor let it be fearful." 1 "Do not let your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 27 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. Too many times, we do not help ourselves to the answers we most need at the moment, perhaps because we do not have these precious words close to our thoughts at the time. We LET ourselves be troubled and fearful. Just look around - that is what the world offers. There is always something to fear. Follow the words of Jesus, and have them close at hand when troubling thoughts come up. Get yourself a good Bible and study it, learn what it really says, and tuck it in your heart for when it is most needed. John 16.33 "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

 Paul Hayden is a Christian believer, and an American patriot, necessarily in that order. He is a student of the Bible, and is avidly interested in our role in the context of history, as understood through the heart and eyes of faith. Paul has lived and traveled somewhat widely, and now lives in the heartland of the U.S. (central Illinois), with his wife Donna - they have five grown children. Since December of 2016, he serves as the Editor-in-Chief of www.ConservativeTruth.org."I was raised by a Christian minister, Kenneth Hayden, until his death when I was 10. Then my mom Bonnalee Hunt Hayden married a farmer. So I was raised in a very down-to-earth home. My faith has grown through the years, but both in conjunction with the institutional church and through small groups and individuals, including books as well as group settings, where deep, sincere faith is shared that aligns with Biblical truth."
