Slide 1 of 4 1. You Lack Peace It is true. Peace is not the absence of conflict. It is neither the presence of perfection. However, peace provides a settling within that cannot be substituted or overlooked when not present. One of the very names of God is Jehovah Shalom, which means God Our Peace. When God's presence is present, we will have peace. The opposite of this is equally true. Without God's presence, not only is there a void of peace, but it is often replaced with chaos and confusion.
