A life of peace isn’t a life without problems. To experience God’s peace requires us to receive his peace and hold onto it in difficult times. We exercise faith and trust in God knowing he is in control of all our circumstances so there’s no need to worry. And if we want to live peaceful and quiet lives it is up to us to pray for those in authority.
