“Peace is a gift. We
don’t determine the conditions upon which this gift is given. Our Father in
Heaven sets the terms. Sometimes we become so focused on our quest for peace
that we forget it is one of the fruits of a righteous life. Out best course for
finding peace is to leave righteously—to keep our covenants. This is the only
course that leads to that inner peace we all desire. The adversary would tempt
us to put all our efforts into directions other than a righteous life in our
search for peace, but if we do this we will be disappointed in the end. True
peace comes only from the Lord as a result of our righteous lives.”
Elder Paul V. Johnson, “Where Can I Turn for Peace?” Ensign,
Apr. 2013, 56.
