Peace. It’s quite some word. Even just saying it solemnly seems to bring a hint of the its substance to a moment of our lives. And at this particular time of the year, it’s something far too many of us feel we lack. We rush to buy gifts. We scurry to prepare a feast. And then it’s all over. January comes and it seems as though another season devoted to the birth of the Prince of Peace came and went with very little indication that He was Lord of it at all. Do I have a solution? Yes and no.
I can’t solve this in a paragraph, but I can make a suggestion. Peace is usually missing because we neglect to seek it. It is frail and easily displaced by the things we do seek. So ask a question of yourself every so often: does this bring me peace? And if it does not, why not ask the One Giver of Peace what to do about that?
I am just a man. I cannot give you true peace. But I do know Someone who can, if you’ll just ask Him to.

There is a song by Eurythmics titled "Peace". The title is misleading, as it is not a happy song, but instead it implies that there is too much misery in the world and "peace is just a word". While it is true that with all the major events that shape our world, both at home and abroad, finding peace seems almost impossible, but as He has said, "All things are possible with God". Peace can be found admist the chaos of our lives, if we not only ask Him for it but if we accept it from Him.
