Quorums of the Seventy
Followers of Jesus Christ are not promised peace from war, suffering and other mortal tribulations, but rather inner peace from the promised Comforter as a result of true discipleship.
"His peace is that peace, that serenity, that comfort spoken to our hearts and minds by the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, as we strive to follow him (Jesus Christ) and keep his commandments."
Although the spirit is gentle, it speaks with great power.
"The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit, who generally communicates, not through physical senses, but by touching the heart and mind in other words, he speaks through thoughts, impressions and feelings, and does so softly."
"Just as Jesus' anxious apostles were given peace by another Comforter, so today can all men and women receive the same marvelous blessing each day of their lives . . . the abused, the abuser, the liar, the thief all who will surrender, follow the Master and do his works are entitled to the same peace."
