Peace

“Peace … which passes all understanding.”
— Phil. 4:7

“It is Christ's work which gives peace to the conscience; but it is subdued will, having none of our own, which in great and in little things makes us peaceful in heart in going through a world of … trial.”

“In all things … instead of disquieting ourselves … we ought to present our request to God with prayer, with supplication … so that, even while making our petition to Him, we can already give thanks, because we are sure of the answer of His grace, be it what it may. … It does not say, you will have what you ask; but God's peace will keep your hearts. … Oh, what grace! that even our anxieties are a means of our being filled with this marvellous peace.”
