I DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER

Hand in hand with Joy goes Peace, gentle reverberations of God in our hearts and minds. Many techniques, exercises, are offered to attain inner peace, but we may find it very simply. Say with the Psalmist "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul." You may form your own sentiments and visualise your own images.
Peace, Joy, Trust, are the same thing - attunement with God your Father. We need to devote time daily to it, but it should follow us gently throughout our day, in all our activities, light and strenuous. When we become strident or irate we know we have lost touch, and need to refocus.
Learn never to mull over the hardships and frustrations of your day. They have passed, should never have been allowed foothold in your thoughts and emotions. Think now only of your true place as the beloved child of your Father, experience His Peace, Joy and assurance.
