YES! Most definately, The peace of God is one of the greatest benefits of salvation. And His peace is deeper than anything you could imagine- not the kind of peace the world thinks is peace. But I have no fear in death, and my hope and Joy is in the Lord!
Without Christ I don't even know how I could make it on this earth. God promises us who love Him that when we are saved:
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
-So true!

Only if you have the faith.
I don't think peace and belief come hand in hand, my father was a christian and even got thrown out of his family home for his beliefs and years later he stopped going to church regularly and then got a brain tumour. He spent the rest of his life (till the tumour killed him) convinced that God had given him the illness because he was being 'tested' and because he hadn't been to church. Since when is it right for a religion to send out his sort of message and make a person think they have a terminal illness due to being 'tested' by God.
I used to believe in a higher being but after this I have to say I am put off my religion and also believe that religion is a form of control to keep people in line. I refuse to believe that if there is suppose to be a God that he would allow the things that happen in the world happen.
I strongly believe that if you are a kind hearted person and treat other people how you yourself want to be treated then that's all that matters. If someone put all their faith in religion then that's their choice and I respect that but I also dislike the people who are narrow minded and will not entertain the possibility that other people do not think the same as they do and as a result we have all the religion trouble that we do.

In my experience God is very gracious and patient with me.
I find that one of the biggest side effects of spending a lot of time with God in prayer is a peace and calmness that follows me throughout the day. I have the same problems but I don't get stressed about them.

The pinnacle of God`s creation is man. Yet when God saw what man through sin could get up to He was sorry that he ever made man and He destroyed him and the creation on earth by the flood (Genesis ch6 v5-7). However Noah found grace and favour in the eyes of God and it is through God`s grace that we are here today.
God is full of grace towards man despite our attitude to Him. Christians are able to take a stand for God and say: We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have peace with God and we strive to have peace with others in the world, breaking down the barriers of religion, colour, race, disability, poverty and so on.

The fact he knows all gives me peace. And Gods grace extended so much that even I could be saved.

Yes, He's gracious and a giver of peace. But sometimes I have to open my eyes to see it and heart to receive it.

Yes, and yes. But it depends on how you look at it. Grace is giving someone something that they didn't earn. Like heaven, when you earned for yourself hell.
