Peace

There is never a need to fight for Peace because fighting never brings Peace. There is never a need to fight for Peace because Peace is not something you win or lose. Peace is a state of being which exists in the mind. Until it's understood that Peace can not be found outside of you, you will never experience Peace. You always have it but consistently give Peace away by allowing Ego to use its one and only trick, Fear, to take over your mind and throw you off course. When your situation becomes too much to bear, you ask "Where is God?" and "How could He allow this to happen to me?" 

Because God is Peace, and God is always with you, know whenever you're not in Peace it's because you've gone off course. Because Peace is a state of being, your life situation has nothing to do with your frame of mind. Nelson Mandela serving 27 years in prison and doing so in Peace is just one example. When the Holy Spirit frames your mind, it protects your mind by shining it's light so no dark shadows (thoughts of anger, revenge, hurt, betrayal, worry, fear, hopelessness, etc.) can stay hidden there.

Peace is yours to claim because God has already placed it in you when He left the Holy Spirit as the comforter. You already have it, you just forgot. You will experience Peace the moment you remember your life situation is not to be what you use to determine Who God is in your life. Peace is found the moment you remember God is Who He is in your life despite your life situation. How else is one able to walk out of prison after being imprisoned for 27 years and not lose his mind, if he hasn't already lost it while in prison?

Peace is of the mind, hence the term "peace of mind." Peace is an experience, a state of being.  This explains why, no matter how grim, horrifying, glamorous or perfect your life situation may seem, Peace is offered by the Holy Spirit once you've realized none of it matters and Peace is welcomed by you the moment you accept reality for what it is, rather than try and create what you would prefer it to be.

Because Ego can not sustain its existence in the presence of Peace, know you have the Power (of God) to keep Peace. Because Peace comes in the form of Silence, it brings along Love and Joy as part of God's gifts to you. Be it, Silence, in the midst of chaos and you will be at Peace because you are in Peace. Peace
