Have you ever had a moment in your life where you felt such unexplainable peace... that it made you worry a little bit? In that moment you thought, "Why am I not freaking out?" or "How am feeling so calm right now?"

It may have been at a time when chaos was erupting around you.

Or a time when it seemed like your life and family were falling apart.

Or even a time when the aftermath of tragedy was crushing you.

But even then, underneath all that noise, your heart was still radiating peace to your whole body.

How is that possible?

Although it can show up in many different ways in our lives, this is a sure sign of God's peace working in your life. The moments when His peace floods in can stay with you for years—becoming a defining moment of trust and faith built between you and God.

Yet maybe you're going through one of those hard situations right now, and you feel anything but peaceful. If fear and anxiety are pushing in on every side, how do you rise above?

Pain and struggle will always be a part of this fallen world, it's true. But peace isn't pretending the hard times won't happen—it's believing that God is bigger than the hard times. We aren't promised all pain will be taken away when we choose God, but we are promised tools to equip us to face and overcome that pain.

When your heart is planted in God's Word and you understand that He is ALWAYS with you, there is a calm that comes over every part of your being. With a heart set in peace, a mind at ease and soul filled with the love of God, you can overcome all things!

No matter how much is pushing at you, how big today's decisions are or how much is at stake, you can rest in the unshakeable hope God provides.

Take time today to sit in His presence, read through Philippians 4:6-7 and declare, "Worry does not get the better of me. I turn to God in everything, telling Him my needs and thanking Him for all that He has given me. His peace washes over me and guards my heart and mind always."

Or jump over to Matthew 11:28-30 and declare, "My spirit, soul and body find real rest in Jesus. He takes the burdens I carry and replaces them with His peace. He teaches me to be humble, gentle and peaceful at heart."

To help you root yourself in the kind of peace God offers, we've created a resource called Walk in the Word. It's a PDF of eight declarations just like the ones above, straight from God's Word.  

Download this printable PDF today and place it anywhere in your home, car or work station as a reminder of the unexplainable peace you have access to. Peace is yours in any situation!
