Reclaiming my Life - my Journey Back to God

I realized that the peace I was experiencing was from God. But what I had not yet realized was that the adversity I would continue to face was God's way of helping me to strengthen my spiritual self, which, I believe, is the main reason he put me on this earth. Furthermore, it became very clear to me as life went on, that achieving ultimate peace is a journey not a destination.Years of experience taught me that life does not allow peace to remain stagnant. Adversity will force it to grow stronger or be destroyed. For example, a couple deeply in love feels peace between them. However, life's everyday challenges attempt to erode that peace because the fear of those challenges weakens the relationship over time. In my experience only fear can destroy peace. I have learned that the only way that I can maintain and grow the peace that I felt that beautiful morning is to master the fears I face everyday. I now know that I have a choice. I will control fear or fear will control me. I will elaborate on this later.My purpose is twofold. First, I want to share with you how to overcome fear to achieve spiritual peace. Secondly, I want you to share it. I believe that once we have learned to achieve peace in our lives, we have a responsibility to pass it on to others. In so doing, one person at a time, we can bring peace to families, communities, and countries.

I know that many people feel confused, frustrated and even angry about where they are in life. So, if you are experiencing any of these feelings, you may be wondering how you can overcome them and find peace. Let me share with you experiences from my journey, which may help you on your personal quest for peace.
