Peacefulness
"Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God."
Matthew 5:9
"Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm that can come in moments of silent gratitude or prayer. It is facing your fears and letting them go. It is trusting that things will be all right. Peace in the world begins with peace in your heart."
