You know that feeling when the Wi-Fi crashes, the dog won’t stop barking, and your to-do list is a mile long? And you think, “If one more thing happens, I’m going to lose it”?

We all have.

But peace isn’t about fixing all that. Peace doesn’t come by making your life perfect or crossing everything off your Christmas to-do list. Peace is what happens when you trust that even in the middle of the chaos, you’re not on your own.

This week of Advent, we focus on peace—not the cheesy, Norman Rockwell kind that comes with a cup of cocoa and a snow-covered porch.

Real peace.

The kind that says, “God’s got this.” Peace that lets you breathe, knowing He’s working even when life feels upside-down.

John the Baptist reminds us this week that salvation is already in motion. God’s plan is happening.

So here’s the question: What’s stealing your peace right now? Is it gift shopping, family tension, or just feeling like you’re not enough? What if you let God take that off your plate, even for a moment?

This week, try giving yourself a small gift. Maybe it’s five minutes of quiet with God. Or asking Him, “What do You want me to let go of?” Or maybe it’s the brave step of handing Him your messiest, most stressful situation and saying, “Help me see this the way You do.”
Peace isn’t about perfect circumstances; it’s about leaning into a perfect God who’s already with you.

You’ve got this, because He’s got you.

God bless.
