When you find yourself in the middle of a personal "civil war," it is easy to let fear shake your heart like trees in a heavy wind. True peace comes from realizing that many of the threats we face are merely smoke and mirrors compared to a higher power that remains in total control. You are never more than one moment or one dream away from having your path straightened out and your perspective restored. Embrace the enduring promise that we are never truly alone, a grace available to everyone regardless of their past or their background.
