Is Peace Obtainable?

Peace seems like it’s a commodity today. There are so many disheartening things happening around the world and with the lives of individuals.

Feelings of discontentment, dissatisfaction disturbance and gloom can linger in someone’s life oftentimes from a life trauma or sometimes for no apparent reason that they can pinpoint.

The word of God places a great emphasis on peace. Peace is also a by product of the characteristics of a believer known as one of the fruits of the Spirit.

The more we increase our relationship with the Lord through prayer, meditating on the word of God, and applying it to our lives, the more we can experience real peace.

Let us seek a closer walk with the Lord so that we can experience the peace of God that passes all understanding.
