“Indifference to the
Savior or failure to keep the commandments of God brings about insecurity,
inner turmoil, and contention. These are the opposite of peace. Peace can come
to an individual only by an unconditional surrender—surrender to him who is the
Prince of Peace, who has power to confer peace. One may live in beautiful and
peaceful surroundings but, because of inner dissension and discord, be in a
state of constant turmoil. On the other hand, one may be in the midst of utter
destruction and the bloodshed of war and yet have the serenity of unspeakable
peace. If we look to man and the ways of the world, we will find turmoil and
confusion. If we will but turn to God, we will find peace for the restless
soul.”
