The world is starving for real peace. Not fake positivity. Not numbing. Real, steady, “something different about that guy” peace. When the storm hits the office, the group chat, the family text thread—everyone’s watching who falls apart and who stands firm.
Brother, your peace is a testimony. Paul and Silas sang hymns in prison. Other prisoners were listening. Your coworkers and unsaved friends are listening, too. They may not have read a Bible yet, but they’re reading your reactions.
This doesn’t mean you fake it or never struggle. It means you keep bringing your fear to Jesus until your face, your words, and your choices start to reflect His calm instead of the culture’s panic.
Today, ask God for one moment to show His peace through you—a hard email, a tense meeting, a frustrating delay. When it comes, breathe, pray under your breath, and respond like a man who knows Who holds him.
Let’s pray together,
Good a gracious father GOD, we Thank You that Your peace is not just for me, but also for those around me. Make me a living witness of Your steadiness. In my reactions and choices today, let others sense something different and be drawn to You. Use my calm under pressure to open doors to talk about Jesus. In His Mighty Name, Amen.
