I've been meditating on peace this week, and have found some wonderful quotes. I started with thinking about peace in relationships. I thought about what I can and cannot do to maintain peace in relationships, in a healthy way. And I also spent time thinking about how prayer and turning over my concerns to God, with a grateful heart brings me peace that is beyond the ordinary.

Peace, real peace, is such an elusive thing at times. For me it is a challenge of focus and perspective; what I am paying attention to and how I am thinking. Being at rest and content inside; with myself, with others and with God is a priceless thing. There's nothing like it. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, makes it possible for me to experience real peace in deeper ways than I could ever find on my own.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. -Romans 12:1

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:6-7

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. -Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Peace is a chain reaction of love.-A First Grader

Let us forgive each other--only then will we live in peace. -Leo Tolstoy

Be happy in the moment - that's enough. Each moment is all we need - not more. -Mother Teresa
