Peace is not just safety or lack of war, violence, conflict and contention. Peace comes from knowing that the Savior knows who we are, knows that we have faith in Him, love Him, and keep His commandments, even and especially amid life's devastating trials and tragedies.

Even with the trials of life, because of the Savior's Atonement and his grace, righteous living will be rewarded with personal peace.

One of your greatest protections against making bad choices is to not put on any mask of anonymity.

What we are speaks so loudly that our children might not hear what we say

Persistence is the answer, and a sense of humor helps.

If the grim realities you are facing at this time seem dark and heavy and almost unbearable, remember that in the soul-wrenching darkness of Gethsemane and the incomprehensible torture and pain of Calvary, the Savior accomplished the Atonement, which resolves the most terrible burdens that can occur in this life. He did it for you, and He did it for me. He did it because He loves us and because He obeys and loves His Father. We will be rescued from death-even from the depths of the sea.

The answer is the Savior who is the source and author of peace.
