"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. " Romans 5:1 NIV
Peace with God. No more guilt, no more fear, no more uncertainty. Peace with God. We have been justified, we have been made righteous in the sight of God, through our faith in Jesus. No work of our own can get rid of our sinfulness, but Jesus, in a miraculous way, gives us a clean standing before God. There is a hymn titled Blessed Assurance. How could anything be more blessed than to be assured that we are at peace with God.
If I start to be bothered by anxiety or irritation, I can remember that I have peace with God, the creator of the universe. Everything else will shrink in significance when I take that gift of peace into my heart.
