How can we experience the peace Jesus promised when we are in difficult circumstances?
When we are in difficulties, we must remember that we are not alone. Jesus is us all the way. As he promises us in John 14 : 27 Peace is what I leave with you ; it ios my own peace that I give you. I do not give as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid.
Even then the storm rocked the boat and yet Jesus is sleeping comfortably, and the disciples were worried and they wake Jesus and Jesus calms the sea. Matthew 8 : 23-27 So what we were taught here that despite of whatever our troubles and difficulties are we have to turn to the Lord.

We can experience this peace through faith. If I am doing my very best to live right, then prayer and the study of God`s Word make difficult circumstances much easier. Also, recognizing that God is testing us to help us learn His Way is of comfort to me when I don`t understand why bad things happen to good people.

Some of his disciples
therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us,
'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little
while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to
the Father?'" They said therefore, "What
is this that he says, 'A little while?' We don't
know what he is saying."
Therefore Jesus
perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I
said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and
you will see me?' Most
certainly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will
rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
A woman, when she gives
birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered
the child, she doesn't remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a
human being is born into the world. Therefore you now have sorrow,
but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will
take your joy away from you.
"In that day you will ask
me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the
Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked
nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made
full. I have spoken
these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I
will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly
about the Father. In
that day you will ask in my name; and I don't say to you, that I will pray
to the Father for you, for the Father himself loves
you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from
God. I came out from the
Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to
the Father." His disciples said to
him, "Behold, now you speak plainly, and speak no figures of speech.
Now we know that you
know all things, and don't need for anyone to question you. By this we
believe that you came forth from God."
Jesus answered them,
"Do you now believe? Behold, the time is coming, yes,
and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place,
and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is
with me. I have told you
these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have
oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
