Quotes about Inner peace

Without knowing it, we put our identity and inner peace in the hands of the people around us. We look to them for what no flawed human being will ever be able to deliver. We ride the roller coaster of their views of us. We begin to do things not because they are right, but because we know they will please those whose opinion of us and acceptance of us mean more than they should.

We can experience peace in the face of the unknown. We can feel an inner well-being while living in the middle of mystery. Why? Because our peace of heart does not rest on how much we know, how much we have figured out, or how accurately we have been able to predict the future. No, our rest is in the person who holds our individual futures in his wise and gracious hands. We have peace because we know that he will complete the good things that he in grace has initiated in our lives.

What will it be for you today—the discontent of doubt and fear or the contentment of peace and rest?

If you have been freed from needing success and acclaim to feel good about yourself, you know grace has visited you.

It gives you a reason to get up in the morning and to be able to sleep at night, no matter what you're facing at the moment.

A warrior of the light...never confuses tension with anxiety.

Thomas Merton's Thoughts in Solitude.

Trust does not cancel our mind but circumscribes it and tames it—and so we do not succumb to fretting or anxious thoughts of being unsure.

Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still. Selah

Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
