How do you define peace and where do you find peace in your life? Is it possible that peace is wherever you find yourself?  Listen as Mary Ellen shares some thoughts about the starting point of peace. She also shared one of her favorite poems,  I AM There by James Dillet Freeman (published by Unity.)

"Do you need Me?
I am there. You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands. I am at work, though you do not understand My ways. I am at work, though you do not recognize My works. I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.

"Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer. When you need Me, I am there. Even if you deny Me, I am there. Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.

"I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
I am in you, and you are in Me. Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of “yours” and “mine.”
Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me. Empty your heart of empty fears. When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.

"You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.
And I am in all. Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.
I am there because I have to be, because I am. Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward.

"I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded. I am the love that is the law's fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am one with you. I am.

"Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you. Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.
Beloved, I am there."

In the 18th chapter of Luke there is a parable of Jesus which illustrated the importance of being persistent and consistent in prayer. “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ For some time he refused but finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice...."  Listen as Mary Ellen shares a practical message about persistence and consistence in our prayer practice.
