How can we have peace in this life which is filled with division, strife and suffering? With Jesus accompanying us in our daily life, we are given our daily bread and our needs are met where we can intercede for others in prayer.
If you need a peaceful heart, take a few minutes each day to grow in the habit of receiving the gift of peace that He wants to share with you. Draw near and ask the question, how peaceful am I?
How frequently am I able to live in the moment, being fully present to others, and entirely content with my circumstances?
Do I tell God my needs? How close do I feel to God?
Do I count on God to provide for all of my needs?
Am I self-reliant or reliant on God?
Do I expect to be in control of everything or do I allow God to control everything, asking for His help and counting on it?
How often do I compare myself with others and find myself lacking?
Do I trust in God’s mercy by actively seeking it, by going to confession or turning to God with a remorseful heart.
Do I feel peace with whom God has created me to be a beloved child of God?
Lord, You did not leave us alone but with the gift of the Holy Spirit. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27
