Anxiety doesn’t have to rule your heart. Fear doesn’t have to be in charge. God’s peace can bring you inner quietness (Isaiah 26:3) Embrace the calming words of scripture. Trust in His goodness. If you’re in the center of His will, then that’s the best place to be.

Peace on earth
In English, the word peace conveys an absence of strife. It is a passive state of being. Yet peace in this particular passage is anything but passive. The peace God offers is active; it refers to the act of reconciliation between God and man. Jesus laid aside His royal privileges and took on the flesh and limitations of man, in order to tear down the wall of sin which separates mankind from a holy God.
Prince of Peace
Peace is not the absence of problems. Peace is not some sentiment we can dredge up from within. Peace is not a location we can flee to when life gets bumpy. Peace is a person; Jesus Christ Himself. Paul states in Ephesians 2:14, “He (Jesus) Himself is our Peace.”
