Deep down, I confess that I’ve often associated peace with a trouble-free life. A life where emotions are serene, needs are fulfilled, and conflicts are non-existent. But is that really where peace is found?
In reality, peace isn’t always wrapped in soft blankets of contentment and quiet. Sometimes, it’s found in the midst of turmoil, where fear and uncertainty rage like a stormy sea. And yet, Jesus didn’t calm the stormy waters; He walked into the heart of the tempest. His presence was a beacon of hope, calling us to trust Him with courageous hearts, even when the waves crash against us.
When conflicts arise, it’s tempting to seek a peace that’s easy, convenient, and quick. But let’s not be satisfied with a peace that’s merely a Band-Aid solution. Instead, let’s seek the Lord’s peace, the kind that’s rooted in His love, His wisdom, and His power. Let’s trust that He will guide us through the tough times, restoring our relationships, healing our wounds, and deepening our connections.
Heavenly Father, we ask for eyes to see beyond the chaos, hearts that trust Your sovereignty, and feet that move forward in faith. Help us to courageously step into Your presence, where Your open hands wait to hold us, comfort us, and equip us with all we need to navigate life’s challenges and discover Your peace. Amen.
Blessings and love …🤗🙏❤️
