Peace of Mind

I am a mother of five and have a husband. I seem to be always in the middle of a tug of war. Everyone is over 12 now and they are doorstep ages. Sometimes there is so much going on you have no idea of what to do first, at least that is one of my downfalls. I have been in the bible a lot to give me some guidance. I was bless this week to hear some teaching on peace:Not just any peace but God's peace. I was fortunate to hear a radio cast Living in Peace in a Troubled World by Candace Brim. It has been very helpful in reminding me of the peace God has given through our faith in Christ. I not saying that I have mastered my calm but I have found tools in the bible to help me to work towards it. This url http://www.billyebrim.org/audio/by/artist/candace_brim is where you find Candace Brim revelation. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me. We have the mental ability to control some aspects of our thinking. We just need the tools and to practice often. I hope the following scriptures help in your search.
