PEACE is not resignation, but RESILIENCY.  Psychological resilience is defined as an individual’s ability to properly adapt to stress and adversity. A scattered mind is, like the bible says, a wave tossed by the wind of the sea (James 1:6).

Where does life find you today? You may be in the midst of a hurricane or a financial storm—perhaps you are facing other issues. Remember, peace is not the absence of turmoil. Peace is the rudder of the soul that provides solitude in the midst of turmoil. God promises to keep in perfect peace all who trust in Him, all whose thoughts are fixed on Him (Isaiah 26:3 NLT)!

If you have lost your purpose, there is always a way back. Even the prodigal son found himself after he ate with the pigs. You can’t get much lower than eating corn on the cob with a hog on the other end of it! Scripture tells us that he came to himself:

The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired men have food enough to spare, and here I am, dying of hunger!” Luke 15:16 (NLT)

What can you do when you find yourself that disconnected with yourself, your dreams, your past, and your family?

You have been left with a letter from heaven; a voice from a place that is unchanging, a book of ideas that are confirmed to all who choose to believe them. Locate yourself in scripture and preach the word to yourself. After you discover yourself once more in the pages of the ancient text, then find others that are as lost as you were and help them on their journey back to the Father.
