Seek My Face, and you will find not only My Presence but also My Peace. To receive My Peace, you must change your grasping, controlling stance to one of openness and trust. The only thing you can grasp without damaging your soul is My hand. Ask My Spirit within you to order your day and control your thoughts, for the mind controlled by the Spirit is Life and Peace.
You can have as much of Me and My Peace as you want, through thousands of correct choices each day. The most persistent choice you face is whether to trust Me or to worry. You will never run out of things to worry about, but you can choose to trust Me no matter what. I am an ever-present help in trouble. Trust Me, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. —Romans 8:6
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. —Psalm 46:1–2

God wants what is best for us. He wants more for us than we even want for ourselves. God is jealous for our hearts, so why not give it to Him? We get the choice to chose to walk a life with God or walk on our own with the ways of the world. God lets us make that decision ourselves. He is not controlling us like puppets, but rather offering a fatherly hand to carry us through.
When we take His offer we will find peace in our hearts. Instead of looking at the world as "what is in it for me" our thought patterns will change to "how can I do this, to please my God". Joy and love will overcome our souls and God will be the omnipresent in our lives. Although we may ask God into our lives right now, we must also remember to keep our head in the Word. The world is constantly trying to change our thought patterns and ways of living, but if we consistently refer back to the truth, the Word, the world will not have a chance to get in.
So seek His face today. Renew your mind in the Word and take grasp of His hand that is reaching down for you.
