Where do I find peace?  Real peace. Peace, contentment, and rest in my soul?

I find a certain type of peace and pleasure in the woods and at the beach.

I find joy and pleasure with my family, grandchildren and friends.

I find connection with God in worship.

But what about real genuine peace; that contentment and rest in my soul that God gives – even when everything isn’t as I wish it were in my world?

From where do I get that peace and contentment?  I only get it from God.

How do I get it?

1. I am privileged to receive it because I have asked Jesus to forgive my sins and be my Lord and Savior. That makes me part of His family. He comes to the aid or “runs to the cry” of His children (Hebrews 2:18 Amplified Bible Classic Edition).
2. I daily spend time with Him in worship, reading His word, and talking with Him. Thus, I have a relationship with Him, and keep deepening that relationship. That relationship is built upon the truth of who He has revealed Himself to be in scripture.
3. I have a place I regularly meet with Him, worshiping Him, mentally seeking His presence and asking Him to meet with me.
4. As I sit with Him, I push all other thoughts and worries out of my mind, and I quietly focus on Him.
5. As I do, He enables me to sense His presence. His love, His peace, His compassion, His strength, and His desire for intimacy with my soul, surrounds and fills me!

What a blessing! The God who is in charge of the universe and knows the chaos in this world comes and “sits” quietly with me! He grants me His presence. With His presence comes His peace.
