Peace

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee because he trusteth in Thee...
  Are you at peace? Am I at peace? What is peace? A better question is ....Who is our peace? I do not know what your life is like..but this world  does not afford a measure of peace to it's inhabitants. Life and circumstances are always changing like the seasons, nothing ever stays the same. So how can your peace come from that?
  Now, God who changeth not..(Malachi 3:16, James 1:17).now there is a source of peace! The same yesterday today and forever.(Hebrews 13:8) What a comfort those words are to weary pilgims on the earth!
  There are some things that we can do to help attribute to our sense of peace;

Psalm 34:14

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Psalm 119:165

Great peace have they who love Your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

Psalm 85:8

I will listen to what God the LORD will say; He promises peace to His people, His saints-- but let them not return to folly.

  But sometimes we just need to be reminded of what our 'mission' is. Our goal...our utimate goal. It is often difficult to remember what is really important when we are struggling in adversity or discouragement, or just overwhelmed with our myriads of responsibilities like..homeschooling, laundry and/or whatever job we may have. So may the Word of God encourage us today, and may you experience and enjoy true PEACE. Not as the world gives....John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid
Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
Matt.11:28-30
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 16:33
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
2 Thess 3:16
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all!

Thank you for your exhortation towards pursuing peace with our Lord, ourselves, and others! It is such a blessing to dwell richly in the Word!
