“You, Lord, give true peace. You give peace to those who depend on you. You give peace to those who trust you.” (Isaiah 26: 3, International Children’s Bible)

What is true peace? It is that genuine serenity within that goes beyond a calm environment. It is spiritual, a settled feeling that eases our burdens and at the same time gives us clarity about what we may need to see and do and be.

This is God’s peace. And as we rely on God, Truth and Love, we receive this peace by our consciousness of it. For peacefulness is not a goal or a hope. It isn’t something off in the distance and not available to each one of us. Peace is the presence of God and God is in every place, in every circumstance, for all to feel and accept.

Let’s trust in God. Let’s stop pushing away peace in the name of our issues andour egos which must control and fix and do and instead discover what a dependence on God can bring us.

Our birthright is peace. We have a right to it, and we find it not by controlling outward situations or by ruminating about troubles. We feel true and deep peace by our release to God’s all-encompassing, all-comforting, all-loving government. Claiming this peace within us is both settling and empowering. It gives us the gentle certainty that is able to bring light to our lives and constructive actions to our world as well.
