Have you ever felt a longing for stillness, not only around you but also within? That deep breath that touches your soul.
Recently, a client sat across from me with tears in her eyes and said, “I just want peace.” It wasn’t about wanting to achieve more; she was searching for a sense of calm and tranquility in her life. And I hear it time and time again.
I notice a longing in almost every client I work with. When I help someone with processes like Parts Integration or Core Transformation, their deepest and most consistent desire is this: I want peace.
Too often, we feel torn inside, with one part pushing forward and another part holding back in fear. But beneath that struggle is a quiet call for peace. It’s not just a pause from the noise, but a healing from within.
Where does peace come from?
Peace isn't something we create through stress relief or positive thinking. It is God’s nature, which He shares with us, always present and nearby.
Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid” (John 14:27).
Peace is not a goal we achieve when everything finally falls into place. It’s the result of resting in harmony with the One who holds all things together.
God doesn’t give peace as a reward for managing life well or having everything figured out. His peace exists in the chaos, in the uncertainty, in the storm, because it flows from His character, not our circumstances.
Peace isn’t just about avoiding problems; it's about seeing them from God's perspective. Once you start seeing things from His higher point of view, your circumstances can no longer steal your peace.
Peace is like an anchor dropped deep into still waters beneath a stormy sea. The waves may crash, but you remain grounded, not in your strength, but in His presence.
You don’t have to wait for your situation to settle before feeling peace. God’s peace surpasses understanding because it works independently of what’s happening around you.
When anxiety tries to take over, remember this: You have access to the same peace Jesus showed during the storm, a supernatural calm that comes from knowing who’s in control and how deeply you are loved.
When stress begins to rise, pause and reflect: “Peace is already mine. I don’t have to create calm, I can access His calm. God, help me see this situation from Your peaceful perspective.”
Peace isn’t about controlling your circumstances. It’s about being in His peace and His presence.
This week, when tension builds up, place your hand on your heart and whisper: “Peace is already mine.”
Breathe deeply, not to escape the moment, but to invite God into it. His presence opens the door to peace.
