Dear Friends,

Kindly help me by checking the Grammatical errors in this sentence "Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a Peaceful flow of life”…………

The capital letter is not required in 'peaceful', otherwise it is grammatically correct.

Thanks

You need another change there and there are further options:
"Seek not that the things which happened should have happened as you wish (or wished); but wish the things which happened to be as they are (or were), and you will have a peaceful flow of life."

Although the grammar for both your sentences is correct, strictly speaking 'afraid of' is the wrong verb choice here, if you wish to be precise.

I am worried about tomorrow's exams.
I am nervous about tomorrow's exams.
I am anxious about tomorrow's exams.

I am worried/nervous/anxious because the exams are tomorrow.

Hi Gerald,

The word 'grammar' doesn't need a capital letter.
