Peace That Stays

Anchor

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.”

— John 14:27 (KJV)

What it means

Jesus offers a peace that is fundamentally different from what the world provides. Worldly peace depends on circumstances—when things go well, we feel calm. But Christ's peace remains steady regardless of what happens around us.

In your life

You check your phone first thing in the morning and immediately feel anxious about the day ahead. Emails pile up, news headlines scream for attention. Yet in this moment, you can pause and remember: there is a peace available that does not depend on your inbox being empty.

Today's challenge

Create a Peace Pause

1Before checking your phone tomorrow morning, take 60 seconds of silence
2Breathe slowly and say: Lord, Your peace is enough for today

Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You that Your peace does not depend on my circumstances. Help me receive it today.

Reflect

What usually steals your peace first thing in the morning?
