We're all working on it during these uncertain times PVT Mark Zehner... stick with it brother...
"Tranquility is a commodity for most of us, but it's so important to find that time to bring peace to your mind and soul, wherever that may be; inside your house, outside with nature. With the current turbulence in this country around COVID-19, politics, rioting, demonstrating, and the media; everyone needs to find that tranquil place and just relax, take deep breath, and clear their mind. May you always find time to place tranquility and serenity at the top of your priority list; may you always maintain positive attitude by resting your mind and soul; may you continue to exercise and eat right to keep in the possible condition; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy during these uncertain times. Relaxation is the steppingstone to tranquility." — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I hope that you realize that peace/tranquility is a state of being independent of circumstances. Certainly, at times it is good to get away from what irritates you. Even out LORD went to the hills early in the morning to pray. However, as a grain of sand in an oyster creates irritation which results in a pearl, oftentimes the LORD permits or ordains challenging circumstances to purify our character and reveal strengths to ourselves and those we love which we were not aware of; my brother-in-Christ PVT Mark Zehner.
Lord I lift up those of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are plagued with nightmares [day & night], the addicted, the compulsive, the distraught, the suicidal and homicidal to YOU. I pray that YOU pour out a large measure of love and hope to each one. Enable each one to sleep peacefully tonight to be able to face what lies ahead for them tomorrow. 'Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid' [John 14:27]
I pray for wisdom and discernment for each one who reads this prayer to recognize that YOU are in control of all that happens to each one of us individually and corporately. Empower us to accept the challenges and tests that YOU have ordained for each one us. I pray that YOU bless us with eyes to see and ears to hear so as to be able to learn the lessons YOU know we need to learn as quickly as we can.
I pray LORD that you bless the grieving widows and widowers including SPC Diana D. and MSgt David Hoffman with an abundance of overflowing joy when YOU know they need a lift.
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Tuesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ
