What is “the covenant of my peace”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Although there are many temporary strategies for finding peace amidst adversity, the only way to experience the ‘peace of God, which passeth all understanding’ (Philippians 4:7) is through the ‘merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah’ (2 Nephi 2:8). The counsel of the Savior and of prophets ancient and modern points us to what the Lord described as ‘the covenant of my peace’ (3 Nephi 22:10), which nurtures a spirit of optimism, inspires hope, increases faith, strengthens families, and helps maintain or reclaim sanity in the lives of those who face hard questions and seek to implement the answers the Lord has provided” (Judd, Hard Questions, Prophetic Answers, 215–16).
