9 Bible Verses-Real Peace …

We all want peace…

But sometimes peace seems so elusive…

Just when we think we’ve found peace…

Just as we close our hands around it…

It slips through our fingers like so much wet sand…

So if we can’t manufacture our own peace…

Maybe we should look to the Bible for help…
