I've been thinking a lot about peace lately.  I have never had such a crazy schedule as i do now with finals, christmas, and trying to decide a major before i take uneccesary classes.  The past few days,  peace has been seemingly impossible to reach. 

So i prayed about it...and read about it in the Bible. 

To achieve peace, i think we have to become completely dependent on God.  Trust that he will take care of impossible, frustrating, or frightning situations.  Every example of peace in the Bible that i have ever read about have come directly from God. (Numbers 6, Psalms 29:11, Isa 26:3 Romans 5:1 just to name a few)

Peace is not being satisfied with yourself, but rather, seeking out what God would have you be. 

Peace is not worrying about what you don't have, and being thankful for what you do have.

Peace is not the lack of turmoil.  Instead, peace is the comfort of knowing that God will bring you through it.

"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord" -2 Peter 1:2
