“Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”
Romans 12:16-18
Have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I here?”
Have you ever struggled with existential thoughts, chipping away at your patience and sanity, harshly trying to get toward the answer but only adding to the hardship of life? Looking around, we can see people in a race to be rich, better, and happier. While nothing is inherently wrong with these ambitions, the problem is that these individuals seek the wrong place.
The path toward peace doesn’t pass through the pleasures of the flesh or the matters of the world but in a place that’s divine, pious, abundant, and, most importantly, promised by God.
Let’s take the first step in a journey toward inner peace and harmony.
Inner Peace
“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.”
Psalm 4:8
Through the hustle and bustle of everyday life, with bills to pay and the stresses of living up to societal expectations, we all crave a moment to unravel and breathe. We are like sheep, wandering aimlessly, seeking shelter, but make no mistake, for no matter what, through every disaster, our Lord looks after us, making sure we are not led astray. So why do we worry? Why don’t we take the leap of faith? He is our Home to always seek refuge in the storm, so weather the winds and reassure your heart that you will never be stranded.
As it is said:
“The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 31:8
Cultivating Faith
As you continue on this journey toward inner peace and harmony, remember that faith is not a destination but a lifelong process. It requires patience, trust, and a willingness to surrender to God’s will. Every challenge you face is an opportunity to grow closer to Him, and every triumph is a reminder of His unyielding grace. Through prayer, reflection, and devotion, you can cultivate a faith that sustains you through every season of life. So, lean into God’s promises, for He is always there, guiding you toward a life of peace, purpose, and divine fulfillment.
Embracing Harmony
The journey is simpler than we think. It leads to a place where our mind, body, and soul operate in synergy and for one singular purpose: to fulfill the will of God, to perform acts of kindness, to refrain from sin, and to bring other people closer to God. So take the first step and begin your spiritual journey toward inner peace and harmony.
