Where do you find peace? The world will not give you peace. You need to protect it for yourself. Turn off your TV for awhile and put down your phone. Disconnect from social media. Give yourself a mental rest. Play with your children or grandchildren. Take a walk with your dog. Listen to music and sing. Pray and worship where you find true peace.
