fight for inner peace?

In my personal quest for peace, in my search for inner tranquility and relief from anxiety, worry and fear, I've always believed that God can give it to me.  It's interesting to find in the bible that as a follower of Jesus 1. I have peace with God - he's not angry with me (Romans 5:1) & 
2. I HAVE the peace from & of God (John 14:27).


So my problem has been not experiencing the peace God says I have.  Philippians 4 solves much of the problem for me.  I says that I should celebrate God (rejoice) and I should thank God for all he has given me, done for me, is doing for me etc.  God simply invites me to tell him what's going on, how I am feeling and what I think I need.  I can just go to him.  The next step is letting him give me peace (Romans 8:6, Colossians 3:15).  


If I want to feel the peace that I already have in God I have to fight for it.  So I will!
