My Daily Musings-May 6th, 2026

C.S. Lewis once said, “God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.”

That truth feels so simple, yet so profound. Everything we have comes from God—every blessing, every tender mercy, every moment of light in our lives. So it makes sense that true happiness and lasting peace would come from Him too.

Sometimes we search for peace in other places—circumstances, achievements, or even the approval of others—but those things can only go so far. Real peace, the kind that steadies our hearts even in hard moments, is found in turning to Him.

When I stop and think about it, I realize how many blessings I overlook each day. There are so many small, quiet ways God shows His love—ways that are easy to miss if I’m not paying attention. And yet, they’re always there.

He wants us to feel peace. He wants us to be happy. Like a loving Father, He invites us to come to Him, to trust Him, and to rely on Him.

What might change if we more intentionally recognized His hand in our daily lives?
Where are we looking for peace—and could we turn a little more toward Him to find it?
