How do I get peace in my life?

It seems that “Peace” and “Contentment” go hand in hand. I can easily look at, or imagine what I don’t have. That could make me not content and not at peace. The world tells me to strive for that which I don’t have, so I can be content and have peace. All people want to avoid pain and discomfort which should bring them peace. The problem is “The eyes of man are never satisfied.”
The answer is to have the right focus, on God the supplier of all things, and the right connection, to the Holy Spirit, the power source. I’m not trying to minimize the situation, but it basically boils down to that point. Where’s my focus, and what’s my connection? I can focus on others and be disappointed. They let me down, they don’t fulfill my needs, they make me mad, or they don’t do what I want fast enough. I can focus on my circumstances and be disappointed. Why is it raining today when I want to work outside, why is so hot when I need to cut wood, why won’t these people listen to what I’m saying, or why is this line moving so slowly when I have to be somewhere else in two minutes? Or again, I could connect to things to bring me enjoyment. There are never enough, money or toys.
I need to realize there is a spiritual battle going on, all the time. It doesn’t take the weekends off or go to sleep to rest up. I wake up and sashay out the door, into the melee, with no armor of God on, and I wonder why it’s so hard. Or I waltz out after a good quiet time with God, feeling empowered, only to run smack dab into a spoiler, a dampener, an irritant. I should mentally go back to God, rather than engaging in a useless battle. I need to choose the right focus and maintain the right connection. I can’t accept the concept that I’m superannuated and out of the game. The battle rages on, and I’m still in it whether I chose to be or not. I can have a time out, and I should take one periodically, but I still am thrust back into the storm.
My peace can remain in the midst of the battle. It’s my choice.
