I've been thinking about the peace that comes from living the commandments. True peace and happiness comes through living the gospel. Even When life gets hard, when trials come, we can still have that peace that comes from knowing the Heavenly Father is on your side and that you have done your part so that Heavenly Father can trust you. It reminds me of the scripture in Doctrine and Covenants that says when virtue garnishes our thoughts we can have confidence in the presence of the Lord. When keep the commandments, we can be happy because God is on our side.
"Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free." ~ D&C 128:22

Happiness
Alma 41:10 Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness.
