"God, show me the way!" is our cry in the midst of turmoil. And what great peace comes upon us when, perhaps suddenly, it is revealed to us what to do, or not do. We were lost in a dark and frightening environment and all at once light appeared and we could perceive and understand our predicament. The solution was at hand all the time but we could not see it.

Knowledge and understanding, more than any outside agency, are the bringers of peace. All the answers are already in us, and the means to overcome all difficulties, but we need perspective. This is what trust gives us. We focus away from ourselves and our apparent limitations and look towards Omniscience. The act of letting go itself breaks our logjam of fear. Divine solutions are always simple, very often they lie simply in a change of attitude - towards ourselves and others.

So, in the heart of the storm affirm Peace: "You lead me beside still waters, You restore my Soul." Solutions are not given to us - they are ours even before we perceive the problem, but we must give Wisdom a chance.
