🕊️ Do You Have Peace? (Finding Rest in a Restless World)

By Celestine Gatley | A Designed Transformation

📖 “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:7 (KJV)

Hey love,

Let me ask you something that’s not just rhetorical—but deeply personal. Do you have peace? Not just the kind that comes when everything is calm, the bills are paid, the kids are quiet, and you’ve had a good night’s rest. But the kind of peace that stands tall even when everything else is falling apart.

In the midst of all the noise, heartbreak, injustice, violence, and uncertainty that plagues the world—we need more than good vibes. We need more than surface-level stillness. We need peace that passes understanding. Peace that doesn’t make sense to the mind, but anchors the soul.

🕊️ Peace is a Person—Not Just a Feeling

Peace isn’t found in circumstances; it’s found in Christ. Jesus said in John 14:27,

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

This world’s peace is temporary. Conditional. Fleeting. But the peace of God? It holds you when grief crashes in. It steadies you when anxiety rises. It silences fear when everything feels unknown.

And here’s the truth: you can have that kind of peace. Right now. Not after everything gets better. Not when things are perfect. You can have it in the middle of the mess.

🌿 How Do You Get That Peace?

You invite Him in.

Not just into your situation—but into your heart, your thoughts, your emotions, your decisions. Peace begins to grow where surrender is planted.

🙌 Declaration:

I declare that the peace of God rules my heart and mind today.

I will not be shaken by the chaos around me, because I am anchored in Christ.

I release anxiety, and I receive divine rest, clarity, and calm.

Jesus is my peace, and I trust Him—even when I don’t understand the way forward.

📝 Reflect:

What areas of your life are lacking peace right now?

Are there things you’re holding onto that God is asking you to release?

Have you invited the Lord into the very place where you feel the most unrest?

💗 A Prayer for You Today:

Lord, I admit that sometimes I search for peace in all the wrong places.

Today, I choose to quiet my soul before You. Let Your Word wash over my worries.

Let Your presence calm every storm in my life. I trust You. I rest in You.

Thank You for giving me peace—not as the world gives, but as only You can.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
