Topics: "Surrender To God", "Inner Peace" Scripture References: Psalm 37:4, Matthew 26:39, Galatians 2:20, Philippians 4:7, James 4:7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Francois Fenelon emphasizes that true peace comes from surrendering our will to God. He encourages believers to focus on aligning their will with God's will rather than seeking personal enjoyment in religion. By humbly confessing faults, detaching from the world, and loving God above all else, one can experience God's love and find peace in their heart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LETTER VI. The true source of peace is in the surrender of the will. Remain in peace; the fervor of devotion does not depend upon yourself; all that lies in your power is the direction of your will. Give that up to God without reservation. The important question is not how much you enjoy religion, but whether you will whatever God wills. Humbly confess your faults; be detached from the world, and abandoned to God; love Him more than yourself, and his glory more than your life; the least you can do is to desire and ask for such a love. God will then love you and put his peace in your heart. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/francois-fenelon/the-true-source-of-peace-is-in-the-surrender-of-the-will/ ========================================================================
