Key Scripture:
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” – Colossians 3:15 (NIV)
Reflection:
The peace of Christ is meant to rule in your heart, like an umpire that calls what is in bounds and what is out. When His peace is present, it is often a sign you are aligned with His will. When your heart is constantly agitated and restless, it is worth asking whether something needs to be surrendered or corrected.
This peace is not shallow or fragile. It stands even when circumstances are uncertain, because it rests on who Jesus is, not on how stable life feels. Like an anchor for a ship, His peace holds you steady below the surface while waves crash above.
Letting the peace of Christ rule means refusing to partner with panic as your decision maker. You can acknowledge real concerns while still choosing to trust Him. As you practice turning worries into prayer and praising Him in the middle of confusion, His peace becomes more familiar and more readily recognized in your heart.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, let Your peace rule in my heart today. When anxiety rises, remind me to come to You, lay my concerns down, and receive the peace that only You can give. Amen.
Today’s Action Step:
Identify one situation that is stealing your peace. Take five minutes to pray specifically about it, then deliberately thank Jesus for being in control even before anything changes.
