Peace

Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul; we may preserve it in the midst of bitterest pain, if our will remains firm and submissive. Peace in this life springs from acquiescence to, not in exemption from, suffering. - François Fénélon

What you give up to accept Him in no wise compares with what you give up through your failure to take your stand by the side of your Redeemer and Lord. Failure to do so means that you surrender peace, joy and Heaven. - Ivan H. Hagedorn

And therefore you who think so basely of the Gospel and the professors of it, because at present their peace and comfort are not come, should know that it is on the way to them, and comes to stay everlastingly with them; whereas your peace is going from you every moment, and is sure to leave you without any hope of returning to you again. Look not how the Christian begins, but ends. - William Gurnall

A peaceful spirit -- a calm, serene, and equal temper of mind -- is favorable to health, avoiding those corroding and distracting passions which do so much to wear out the physical energies of the frame; and, such a spirit will preserve us from those contentions and strifes to which so many owe their death. Let anyone reflect on the numbers that are killed in duels, in battles, and in brawls, and he will have no difficulty in seeing how a peace fill spirit will contribute to length of days. - Albert Barnes

We have peace with God by the righteousness of Christ, and peace of conscience by the fruits of righteousness in ourselves. - Thomas Manton

Understand that at Jesus’ command every challenge must come into submission. All we need is one word from Him and we are able to begin to experience peace beyond what you ever thought possible. God wants to give you peace – as he said, not the world’s peace but His peace. The peace that will carry you safely through your storms, and land your feet firmly on the shores of His amazing grace! - Raymond Johnson

There is never any peace for those who resist God. - François Fénélon
