54 Episode – Peace Does Not Mean Easy
I think we sometimes confuse peace with ease or comfort. Because something is hard or uncomfortable we decide to leave it behind. “It’s not for me.” That’s not what the Savior meant when He said, “My peace I give unto you” (John 14:27).

There are those lessons in church about being kind and patient with ourselves. My teachers have even gone so far as to say that you need to speak nicely to yourself. There are even examples of prophets in the scriptures who give themselves positive self-talk.
