What is perfect peace? Can we really attain that?
If we believe the word of God, then yes we can attain that, it is already ours. The problem is not in God’s ability to do what He has said He will do, it is in our understanding that we already have the promise. Keeping our mind stayed on the Lord means to continually keep Him and His promises in front of us. I have gone through many trails and have learned over time that the quicker I am to keep my thoughts on the Lord and not on my circumstances, then that peace of God stays with me.

When I am at peace deep in my spirit, I can sing in the rain. I can play during a lighting storm, I can have everything swirling around me and still stay in faith. This does not mean, that I do not feel, that we pretend that all is well, for indeed all might not be well in your surroundings, but it can be well within yourself. We can not control other people or situations so there will always be opportunity for us to practice this aspect of worship to the Lord.
The showers can be loud and hard but the word says in Isaiah 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
Give Him your burdens today. He is able to carry all that you cannot.
