"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law."
Like joy, peace is not based upon one's circumstances. It results from the knowledge that our salvation in Christ is secure, and that Christ is in control of the entirety of our lives both while we are here on this earth and also when we reach our future home in heaven. It is true, however, that it is hard to see His plan and purpose when the world erupts with wars, finances do not seem to cover the needs of life, people become more obstinate against the Word of God, and the way of life everywhere grows consistently more corrupted with sin. But in the middle of all this chaos and darkness, God has put His holy light into each believer's life, so that by their lives, some in the world may be brought to Him.
Therefore, a believer's life is to be exemplified by an inner calm and confidence that will attract those who are desperately searching for peace and hope in this crumbling world. Because even though this life is full of uncertainties, we, as believers in God, do not need to fret or worry because we know that God is in control of everything from the world affairs to the minutest details in our lives. We can lay all of our troubles at the feet of Christ, trust in Him to accomplish His will through them, and help us to grow because of them. Therefore, rest in peace in the knowledge that if you seek God's will for your life and are diligent to serve Him, where He guides you He will also provide for you.
Psalm 29:11
"The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace."
The Lord will bless His people with peace."
