Protecting Your Peace: Reflection

In the midst of life’s busyness and challenges, protecting our peace is essential to living intentionally with God. As we reflect on this devotional, take a moment to consider how the peace of Christ can shape your thoughts, actions, and relationships. These questions are designed to help you assess where your peace might be slipping away and how you can realign your mind, body, and spirit with God’s presence. Take time to reflect honestly and invite God to guide you in your journey toward peace.

1. Reflect on moments in your life when you’ve felt overwhelmed or anxious. How did you respond to those moments, and how did they affect your peace? What practical steps can you take today to protect your peace in those moments?
2. The discipline of protecting your peace involves aligning all areas of your life with God’s will. How can you better align your mind, body, and spirit to create a peaceful and balanced life? What steps can you take to integrate God’s peace into each area of your life today?
3. Reflect on the boundaries you currently have in place in your life. Are there areas where you need to set better boundaries to protect your peace? How can you establish healthy boundaries today, especially in your time with God?
4. Reflect on the verse from John 14:27, where Jesus offers peace that transcends the world’s understanding. How can you trust God’s peace more fully in your life today? What can you do to stop seeking peace from temporary circumstances and focus on the peace He offers?
