The Peace that Never Leaves

The place where your peace resides is intact; it cannot easily be shaken, or taken away. The Bible says the covenant of peace we have is everlasting—it is eternal and for life (Ezekiel 37:26). Sometimes, when we are going through trials and temptations, it is easy to forget we have peace, causing us to lose hope or despair. ​As I was sitting at home studying, I realized there were so many thoughts in my head. I felt I had failed to do everything I wanted to do—my mind was simply busy with to-do lists and what I should have accomplished by now. But in the midst of it all, I realized I still had my morning peace after I prayed. It hit me: these worries only come to steal our peace and joy, making us forget where our true foundation lies. The more I worry and focus on what I should be doing or should have done, the more I lose my peace.

But when your peace is anchored in Christ, it cannot be taken away from you; it is still right there.​ It’s only when we focus on these worries and trials that we forget for a moment where our peace lies and eventually lose that resting place.​ However, as we circle back to Jesus, who gives us peace, that peace will not be shaken—even when trials are many. The devil only comes to distract you from what brings real peace and make you focus on what doesn’t. When you remember where your peace lies, you will find it right there in Him and regain it. So when you are in trials, don’t despair, lose hope, or give up. All you need to do is circle back to Christ, the source of our peace, and remember that it cannot be taken from us because Jesus is our Prince of Peace. When you have Jesus, you have peace.​

Prayer: ​Lord, I thank You for Your peace that is everlasting. Help us when we face trials or troubles to remember that You are our constant help. Help us to remain anchored in Your peace so that we will not be moved by our circumstances, fears, or troubles. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
