My struggle is to find inner peace without it being contingent upon resolution of affairs in the outer world. I cannot say that I am doing well at this quest right now. The waiting is stealing away my peace, and every attempt to reengage with the world churns up my feelings again. And it will pass; just someday we all pass, too, and there is no more time to find our peace.
Peace is not a material state, it is a spiritual state of conjunction with God, trusting God to handle our troubles because we have no real power to control our inner and outer worlds. Meditating on Omnipotence helps. Many do not want to acknowledge God’s Omnipotence, feeling small and useless without power. Turn it around and we can feel empowered by not having to fix things we cannot.
