 You Can’t Pour Peace if You Don’t Carry It

There’s nothing wrong with giving your best to your family, your work, your purpose. But the deeper question is:

Jesus said in John 14:27,
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you... Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

This kind of peace isn’t something you perform your way into. It’s received. It’s spiritual. It’s sacred. And it often requires you to slow down long enough to hear God in the quiet.

Isaiah 30:15 (NIV)

"In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength."

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to rest—not as a reward, but as a requirement for survival?

This Week’s Reflection Prompt:

Ask yourself honestly:

• Am I moving from wholeness or from habit?

• Am I reacting to life or responding to God?

• Where can I carve out stillness this week, even in the noise?

The Spiritual Practice: Stillness Before Action

Try this:

• Take 5 minutes each morning before touching your phone or planning your day.

• Sit in quiet. Breathe deeply. Repeat: “God, steady me before I move.”

• Journal what rises—thoughts, fears, peace, or direction.

The Takeaway:
You are not a machine. You are not meant to run on pressure.
You were created for rhythm, rest, and restoration.
Don’t let the noise of the world drown out the still voice of God.

You are still growing. Still becoming. Still standing
But now, you’re learning to pour from a steady place.

With grace and gentleness,
