“Stillness in the middle of the storm.”
The peace God offers is not the absence of difficulty — it is a deep, settled stillness that holds even when everything around you is shaking. It is not something you manufacture. It is something you receive when you stop striving and turn toward him. You were made for this kind of peace.
