Perfect peace

I love Gods peace so much, it goes so beyond common sense and logic!
There have been times I've been so upset and worried, full of questions and concerns with no idea what the future holds. I'll go to God and it's like suddenly things no longer matter, my questions may not have been answered, in fact nothings changed at all, yet God will give me such a peace and rest.
There's a old song that goes:  

 'Turn your eyes upon Jesus... Look full in His wonderful face... And the things of earth will grow strangely dim... In the light of His glory and grace'

And it's so so true. It's like when you meet with God there's a faith that comes, a knowing that everything will work out. All the questions no longer seem to matter.
You hear people say "When I get to heaven I will ask God this thing, and that thing", but I think when we are in front of God every question will fade away, and we will just be left in total awe!

The question is how long does that peace last? I wish I could live it in it constantly, it's surely possible. But a minute, hour, even a few days later I find myself thinking where did that total peace and rest in God go. I find myself living in it alot more than I did, looking back a year or so ago, but to remain in that place always...
To be in that place where I let nothing take my eyes off Jesus, and learn to see everything through His eyes.
Jesus said He only did that which He saw His Father do, to be so in tune with God that every word I speak, everything I do, even every breath I take would be in Gods will, for Him to be glorified in everything!

Isaiah 55:12
For you shall go out with joy, 
      And be led out with peace; 
      The mountains and the hills 
      Shall break forth into singing before you, 
      And all the trees of the field shall clap 
their hands.


I'm so confused at the moment, my feelings are all over the place, and somewhere amongst it all is what God wants.
I want my desires to be what God desires, I want to see through His eyes, think His thoughts, and most of all right now I want to be led forth in His peace. That peace where there's no room for doubts, no room for fears, just total rest knowing I'm exactly where God wants me.
