Quote to Consider:

Most Christians have come to have peace WITH God, but very few Christians have come to have the peace OF God.
-James MacDonald, Walk in the Word

I heard this on the radio while on my way home tonight.  It kind of stuck with me.  His message was more on Philippians 4:8, but here's the whole Bible passage for you to chew on:

Philippians 4:
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
