Does God give peace to those who love Him?

Ephesians 6:23-24 ESV

Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.

I would assume that any feeling of peace and love that comes from God as a result of our love and faith would be a result of our brain chemicals generating the feeling of peace once we spend time with God and realize that the battle has already been won, and that our life here on earth is a fleeting moment meant to be used to prepare for the real life that comes next.

However, this takes some of God out of the equation. It's true that He set up the universe with its physics and humans with their brains wired such that knowledge of God brings peace. This, I think, sets God as the watchmaker, building us and winding us and letting us live alone with what he's given us.

I find my conclusion disturbing in that I don't think it's accurate. I'll have to look more into God's direct and present involvement in our life.

Maybe the problem is with the idea of "present" involvement. To one who exists outside of time, when is the present? I have nearly infinite presents, each taking a moment and literally moving on before I can know it's even happened.
