More from the “Seeds of David”: Tranquillity 
 (Jesus speaking: ) Tranquillity is the peace God sends when you stop fighting whatever it is that He’s doing with you, and you just yield and say “yes”. Then the peace comes and you gain faith for whatever trying circumstances you may be in. 
So if something is really hard for you and you just can’t get that peace of mind that you so long to have—that it seems others with the even more challenging circumstances they seem to have, yet peace eludes you—try using that three-letter word: Yes.
You keep trying so hard to have peace through hoping things will change. But what if they don’t? Is it My will that you linger in turmoil on and on? No. I say, “peace be still”. I don’t say, “Boat be gone to calmer waters.”
If it’s not My time yet for your surroundings to change--your reason for feeling unrest and turmoil within your soul--then ask Me to give you the peace that passes your carnal mind’s understanding. The carnal mind wants things to be right, and most of all right and perfectly suited to the person it’s a part of; not necessarily right for all, or even what is best for winning a certain battle. 
The carnal mind doesn’t really see things clearly in the spirit, how a trial or problem might be good, and be allowed by the team captain overseeing that part of the battle scene. It just looks in a catalogue of “Good things that I should have” and sees one photo after the next of beautiful peaceful scenery, crystal tranquil lakes with the most stunning sky back drops. 
Yet, even when the lake isn’t tranquil, and the sky is rather stormy, still you can know a taste of Heavenly peace, when you yield and say, “Lord, You do all things right. Even this storm and these waves are for a good purpose. Let me hold on tighter to You through this time of upheaval and choppy waters.”
To say yes, you have to have faith that I know how much you can take; and have faith that yes, I even do things that are rather uncomfortable for you, but it’s out of love. –Much like you do for your children. Is there anything you do that they don’t particularly enjoy, but is part of your job as a parent to do it, for it brings the results you must achieve? In other words, you do it anyway, because you love and you care about your children, and you have a duty to see that certain things are taken care of. And so is it with Me.
Praising, in faith, even when you don’t understand why things are the way they are, is a real key to gaining inner peace. This peace shows up in the tranquil nature you display. This is a winning tactic, and will cause others to come to Me, because they’ll want what you have.
