Anxiety is often our first reaction to conflict, problems, or even our own fears. In those moments, detaching and getting peaceful may seem disloyal or apathetic. We think: If I really care, Ill worry; if this is really important to me, I must stay upset. We convince ourselves that outcomes will be positively affected by the amount of time we spend worrying.
Our best problem solving resource is peace. Solutions arise easily and naturally out of a peaceful state. Often, fear and anxiety block solutions. Anxiety gives power to the problem, not the solution. It does not help to harbor turmoil. It does not help.
Peace is available if we choose it. In spite of chaos and unsolved problems around us, all is well. Things will work out. We can surround ourselves with the resources of the Universe: water, earth, a sunset, a walk, a prayer, a friend. We can relax and let ourselves feel peace.
Today, I will let go of my need to stay in turmoil. I will cultivate peace and trust that timely solutions and goodness will arise naturally and harmoniously out of the wellspring of peace. I will consciously let go and let God.

Didn't mean to copy you...Just noticed we posted the same daily meditation. When I do my morning reading if something strikes a chord with me, I sometimes share it. I guess I should try to get caught up on my reading others posts before I jump in the water. I'll just chalk this one up to "Great minds think alike."
Hey ZuZu, I thought this was great this morning when I read both ya'lls posts. I got a double dose of "Peace"...I said "Okay, God ...what are you trying to tell me?" I've heard that you have to hear something 3 times before it sinks in. I'm getting it.
