Living in the Deep End of Peace – When Stillness Becomes Your Strength

Dear Family,

Last week, we explored a powerful truth: Peace isn’t just a fleeting moment; it’s a place you live from. But how do we stay in that place when life keeps pulling us out—through distractions, pressures, or the demands of the day?

This week, let’s dive deeper into what it means to let peace dwell in you, not just pass through you.

Peace That Guards, Not Just Comforts

Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

That kind of peace isn’t passive it’s protective. It guards your focus, your emotions, your decisions. But here’s the secret: it only shows up when you surrender your anxieties through prayer and alignment. If peace is your address, then gratitude, trust, and surrender are the keys that unlock the front door.

✨ “Stillness is not the absence of movement, but the refusal to be moved by fear.”

 Internal Alignment: When Your Spirit Leads the Way

Many of us are at war internally—our thoughts go one way, our emotions another, and our spirit gets left unheard. But lasting peace comes when we live in alignment with the Spirit of God. That means:

  • Trusting His timing.

  • Choosing joy when it’s easier to complain.

  • Forgiving so we can release the burden of bitterness.

You don’t have to force it peace becomes your default when you stop striving to earn it.

 Reflect + Realign

Take a moment this week to sit still and ask:

  • What have I been allowing to disrupt my peace?

  • Have I been reacting or responding?

  • What’s one way I can live from peace today, instead of chasing it?

Whether that means journaling your thoughts, letting go of something you can’t control, or just pausing to pray peace isn’t earned. It’s invited. And once it moves in, everything begins to flow differently.

You’re not meant to survive the storm; you're meant to be unshaken in it.

Let peace not just visit you—but dwell within you.

With love and stillness,
