Talk: The path of the Peacemaker ~ Kim B. Clark BYU Idaho 2009 (begins at time stamp 8:21)
Ponder this: "We know that things will happen to disrupt our peace of mind. We live in a fallen world, and things happen to everyone. But whether a disruption lasts a long time or a brief moment depends on us. It is our choice. I know that is true. Sister Clark and I have faced many storms in our lives. In those experiences we have learned that we have to choose to look into the mirror of Christ. It requires an act of both faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and personal determination. Our natural instincts will take us right to the mirror of fear. But we have our agency, and we don't have to take counsel from our fears. We can choose hope and say, "I am not going to look into the mirror of fear. I am going to fix my eyes on the mirror of Christ, trust the Lord, and act in faith."
I know from my own experience that if you choose the mirror of Christ you authorize the Holy Ghost to minister to you. He will "show unto you all things what ye should do." Your feelings of self-worth and confidence in the Lord will grow, and peace of mind will return. You will go forward, acting in faith to face the storm and work through it. This is the path of the peacemaker.
