When Life is Unfair...Find Peace
David processed the unfairness until he achieved personal peace
The peaceful soul:
· Tranquil, quiet and calm thoughts
· Tranquil, harmonious and calm feelings
· Tranquil, quiet, harmonious and calm choices
Peace improves rest, recovery and resilience
Four kinds of peace:
“The peace of ease”
“The peace of tranquility”
“The peace of awareness”
“The peace of transcendence”
Peace is an attribute of God that He shares with us through Jesus Christ
