In times of chaos, where do you find peace? Everything is turning against you. Nothing seems to be right. Your house, your family, your friends, in school, you never feel peace in your heart. You are always, worrying, troubled, distressed. Time is always against you, you are frustrated.

Many people say, I just want peace! But the truth is, they never seem to get the definition of peace right. Having peace does not mean, you get rid of all your problems and situations. That will never be possible. The truth is you will always have challenges in your life! Things that don't go your way. There will never be a "perfect" condition. But amidst of that, will you choose peace? Peace is a choice.

Peace is a state of mind, it is one that choose calmness, and not anxiousness. It choose love instead of hatred. It choose faith instead of fear. It choose joy instead of sadness. It choose forgiveness instead of grudge. That is peace. You make a choice.

The power of peace is that, though it doesn't change your circumstances, it changes the way you look at them. The way you react to them. See, storms will come and go. Even the greatest storm. But peace is different, you choose peace, you can't "make" peace.

And the beautiful thing is. when you do so, you will begin to see things differently. The negative mind begins to fade away. You put on a new mind, one that is optimistic of what the future holds.

Will you choose peace?

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
