BELOVED FAMILY AND FRIENDS...

The lack of peace and restlessness you feel is because of your sin that has placed a barrier between you and God.  But God loved you so much that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus into the world to become your personal Savior and Prince of Peace.  Please see John 3:16 and Isaiah 9:6.
John 3:16 "God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life"
Isaiah 9:6 "A child has been born to us; God has given a son to us. He will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace"

Your loving God has provided a process or a plan for you to be forgiven of your sins through faith in Jesus resulting in perfect and everlasting peace with the Father.

God’s Plan of Salvation
1 John 5:11-12 "And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life."
This passage tells us that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son, Jesus Christ. In other words, the way to possess eternal life is to possess God’s Son. The question is, how can a person have the Son of God?

Man’s Problem

Separation From God

Isaiah 59:2 "It is your evil that has separated you from your God. Your sins cause him to turn away from you, so he does not hear you."
Romans 5:8 "But God shows his great love for us in this way: Christ died for us while we were still sinners."
According to Romans 5:8, God demonstrated His love for us through the death of His Son. Why did Christ have to die for us? Because Scripture declares all men to be sinful. To “sin” means to miss the mark. The Bible declares “all have sinned and fall short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God” (Romans 3:23). In other words, our sin separates us from God who is perfect holiness (righteousness and justice) and God must therefore judge sinful man.
Habakkuk 1:13a "Your (God's) eyes are too good to look at evil; you (God) cannot stand to see those who do wrong."
