Am I at peace?

For months I wondered, will I ever be at peace? And what does it mean to have peace?

Is peace the tranquilizing of emotions or the eradication of faithless thought? Or is it something deeper, less fickle, than the transient nature of feelings and thoughts?

Perhaps it’s the deep, calm assurance that God is in control.

Perhaps it’s resting in His power and trusting Him no matter what.

Perhaps it’s surrender.

One step, one battle at a time you lead me to the place you’ve planned for me.

A place of contrasts-- death and life war and peace loss and gain-- a place where peace will reign where I face my greatest challenge-- the surrender of my will.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:2
