John 14:27King James Version (KJV)
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
In the verse above, we see Jesus Christ consoling His disciples as He is about to leave them. The disciples are troubled... troubled because they had found courage, comfort, and happiness in the time shared with Jesus Christ. They could not imagine how to continue keeping the faith while Jesus Christ was gone. So they had to question him so much in order to clear their worries. Jesus, being the son of the Almighty God already knew what His disciples were going through from the moment they knew he was going to live their side. So he said unto them " Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." This peace was all the the disciples needed at the moment to move on and it came to them through the Holy Spirit. From then hence, they had the Grace and power to evangelize fearlessly to all the clans and nations they could reach.

For as long as you received Him(Jesus Christ), he gave you the right to become a child of God. As a child of God, you are a disciple. His grace and power abounds over you. It takes you realizing what you have in you already in order to be able to combat your fears. There is nothing stronger and more truthful than His word. He left you with peace so you need not worry. Commit all your tribulations to Him, cast all your worries to Him for he cares for you. Always put Him first.
