Step by Step: Finding Peace Within

By Elizabeth Taylor

We all have a desire to live a peaceful and meaningful life. We struggle through trials and tribulations. Sometimes the struggle of lifes adversities makes it difficult to find that inner peace we desire. You may be struggling with the lost of a loved one; a rebellious child, and abusive relationship; a demanding job, financial burdens; health issues, addictions, etc. Only you can make a decision to defy the demons that are preventing you from finding your inner peace. When you learn to let go and let God; only then will you receive the inner peace you desire. I pray that this book of poems will help strengthen your faith and move you closer to the one that can give you Your Peace Within

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: Not as the world giveth, Give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, Neither let it be afraid,

John 14:27 King James Version (KJV)

Let not you heart be troubled:

Ye believe in God, believe also

In me. In my Father’s house

Are many mansions: if it

Were not so, I would

Have told you. I go

To prepare a place

For you. And if I

Go and prepare

A place for

You, I will

Come again,

And receive

You unto

Myself;

That

Where

I am,

There

Ye

May

Be

Also
