Finding Peace in the middle of lifes storms
Have you ever been in a storm/hurricane or watched a storm or a hurricane? I sure have. All around I saw chaos, winds blowing at 120 miles plus per hour, debris flying around with danger looming to anyone or thing in its path. However in the centre of a hurricane, it is known as the 'eye of the storm'. It is very calm and peaceful. In the centre of one hurricane (which I was watching) I saw a murmuration of birds flying together positioning themselves by staying in the centre of the hurricane. This was their safe peaceful place.
In life there will be times when it seems like everything is out of control such as challenges, adversities and stressors. They will come. What should we do? We should try to find a restful place in our mind, emotion and will. Just like in the eye of the storm, there is a safe peaceful place where we can remain. When you’re in this place, there’ll be Peace instead of upset; there’ll be Peace instead of stress. Peace is not the absence of challenges, trouble or conflict: Peace is positional and locational. Peace is a decision of the will.
What am I saying? Find your place of Peace by asking yourself the following questions; Who or what gives me Peace. Once you can answer that, make a decision to have Peace in the middle of the storms of life.
