No, I do not suffer from either of those, and if you do, I am sorry for you, and will pray for you.

As for inner peace.......that comes from God.....from the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. I do not believe man can achieve inner peace on his own............though millions struggle to do so. Surrender ALL to Him, and He will BE our refuge and our strength, and He will never forsake us. I pray that you keep searching, searching for Him to fill your life with the joy of His presence, and that inner peace will be realized. Yes, the more mature we become in our walk with Him, the greater the peace and rest we realize.

As with all else, in the beginning, there will be trials, doubts, fears......but IF we stand strong with Him, He will stand strong with us. Every time (through His strength and grace) we overcome the trials that beset us, the stronger we become and the better able to withstand future trials. It is through trials that we grow in Christ.

The "proof" of the Truth of Scripture is revealed in the changed lives of believers. The "difference made" is also revealed in the changed lives of believers. ALL Scripture is to be taken seriously by believers, and will be rebuked by unbelievers. That is the way..............I pray you resolve your doubts and truly seek a personal relationship with God with a sincere and contrite heart. God bless.
