STRIVING!
TO RECEIVE MY PEACE, you must change your grasping, controlling stance
to one of openness and trust. Grasping and controlling are your means
of trying to feel safe. However, such an approach actually hurts you
and works against you: The more you manipulate and maneuver for
control, the more anxious you become. In effect, since you are the one
who made things happen, you have to patrol the situation vigilantly or
risk losing the ground you've gained.
Rather than striving for peace of mind through these means, abandon yourself to Me. My hand is the only thing you can grasp without damaging your soul, so let Me help you open your hands and receive all that I have for you.
What you do with your body can help or hinder what goes on in your soul. When you realize you are grasping for control, become aware of your body language. Intentionally open your hands, releasing your concerns to Me and inviting Me to take charge. Open your heart and mind as well, as you lift your hands to Me. You are now in a good position to receive My many blessings, not the least of which is awareness of My Presence.
Enjoy the Peace that flows out from Me while you bask in the Light of My Love. Then, when you move back into your activities, consciously grasp My hand in childlike dependence. For I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, "Do not fear, I will help you."

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" John 20:19
"I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing." 1 Timothy 2:8
