Feeling peace in the midst of struggles and disappointments is not something that comes naturally to most. As Christians, however, this state of constant contentment is a waiting gift from God that needs only to be accepted and practiced. Puritan pastor Jeremiah Burroughs explains how to lean into God’s will and live in a way that is unafraid to fight temptation, overcome anxieties, and show God’s love to others. While this may seem unattainable to some, Burroughs argues that this is one of the fundamentals of Christianity. He outlines how surrendering to God and learning to follow His path, rather than chasing temporary desires and “perfect” outward circumstances, will bring true and lasting peace.

Author Bio: Jeremiah Burroughs
Jeremiah Burroughs (1600–1646) was an English Congregationalist and a well-known Puritan preacher. It is said that he harmoniously combined in his own person qualities that might be considered incompatible: a fervent zeal for doctrinal purity and worship and a peaceable spirit which longed and labored for Christian unity. It is said that his heart was broken by the divisions among the Puritan reformers in the 1640s and that this contributed to his premature death at age forty-six.
Among his contemporaries and colleagues, Burroughs was recognized as outstanding for his conciliatory temper and efforts. The often-quoted opinion of Richard Baxter was that if all the Episcopalians had been like Archbishop Ussher, all the Presbyterians like Stephen Marshall, and all the Independents like Jeremiah Burroughs, then the breaches of the Church would soon have been healed.
