What Exactly is Peace?

Peace is evidence of our trust in God’s pan for us. When we have true peace, even amid chaos, hardships and trials, it demonstrates that we are resting in God’s perfect plan and timing rather than trying to control everything ourselves. That last sentence was important!

Having peace demonstrates that we are resting in God’s perfect plan and timing rather than trying to control everything ourselves.

5 Reasons Why God’s Peace is Important in Our Lives

Let’s face it. Life has many challenges that can make our peace feel unhinged and broken. How can we restore the peace that was given to us by the Lord?

Abundant Life Comes From Living a Life of Peace.

Peace allows us to experience the abundant life Christ promises. Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you” (John 14:27). When we lack peace, we cannot fully experience the joy, rest, and freedom that Christ intends for us as his followers. Inner turmoil robs us of abundant living in Jesus.

Peace Equips Us to Make Better Decisions

Peace equips us to make wise decisions from a calm perspective. The “peace of God that passes all understanding” guards our minds and hearts- allowing us for clear thinking (Philippians 4:7). Without inner peace, we are prone to rash, fear-based decisions.

God’s Peace In Our Lives is a Testimony to Non Believers

Our peace is a powerful testimony to non-believers. The world promises peace through wealth, status, or self-help, yet falls short. When non-believers see followers of Jesus exhibiting supernatural peace despite difficulties, it points them to the power and truth of the gospel.

Pursuing peace keeps our hearts focused on Christ.

Pursuing peace keeps our hearts focused on Christ. It’s easy to become consumed with worries, but scripture urges us to fill our minds with those things that are true, honest, just, pure, and lovely- we are called to dwell on these things (Philippians 4:8). Keeping our hearts and mind focused on these qualities gives us divine peace from the Lord.

How Can Journaling Help Us See the Peace of God in our Every Day Lives?

Journaling is a powerful tool that can help us recognize and experience God’s peace in our everyday lives. Here are some of the key ways that journaling can foster this:

It slows us down. In our fast-paced world, journaling forces us to be still, quiet our minds, and focus our thoughts. This creates the space to become aware of God’s peace and presence.
It allows honest self-reflection. As we privately write out what’s weighing on our hearts and minds, it becomes easier to process difficult emotions and situations honestly before the Lord. This paves the way to surrendering our burdens to Him and allowing His peace to rule and reign in our hearts.
It reveals our doubts and anxieties. The act of penning our worries often exposes the fears and lack of trust that are robbing us of God’s perfect peace. Once identified, we can actively replace them with truth from Scripture.
It becomes a record of God’s faithfulness. When we journal about God’s faithfulness and how He has brought us through our trials, we create a memoir highlighting His trustworthiness. Rereading entries builds our faith for the next challenge.
It prompts gratitude. Writing about our daily blessings helps us cultivate gratitude and keeps our perspective heavenly-minded.

Digging Deep Into a Key Scripture About God’s Peace

Before we dig into these Christian peace journal prompts, let’s do a quick study on Colossians 3:15. You can also write these down in your journal if you like. This will set the stage for God’s peace to dwell in our hearts. I’ll be using the Blue Letter Bible.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Colossias 3:15

Read Colossians 3:15 above. The word “let” means to allow, to decide, and to determine. Is peace a decision made by you as you surrender to God? Are you willing to allow yourself to yield to God’s peace in surrender?

The word “rule” from Colossians 3:15 means to arbitrate, similar to an umpire making a call when there is a conflict. When we are in conflict between peace and conflict, Jesus arbitrates, or umpires our heart to yield to His peace.

The word “heart” is the innermost part of your being- the mind, character, inner self, will, and intention.

To the which you are called- This is a clear invitation, a summoning by Jesus to His children, that we are called (summoned and invited) to God’s divine peace in our hearts.

Many will talk about how to find inner peace, but inner peace is a work of self and is based upon feeling. True inner peace is found from an outside source- God, and is eternal.

How to Respond to Each Journaling Prompt

Before you put pen to paper, here are 5 tips on how to effectively respond to each journal prompt about peace:

Have a Dialogue with God. Don’t just record a monologue – commune with the Lord through your writing. Listen for His voice.
Commit to Prayer and Application. End each journaling session with surrender and committing all circumstances to God.
