DAY 3: PRESSING ON WITH PEACE

Prayer Topic: Pray for Christ's peace to rule in your heart and for gratitude amidst life’s pressures.

Peace is often hard to hold on to when life’s pressures feel overwhelming. Yet, Colossians 3:15 reminds us that peace isn’t something we create by avoiding stress—it’s a gift we receive by letting Christ’s peace rule in our hearts. We are called to live in peace with others, but that begins by finding peace within ourselves. The pressures of life can disrupt our inner calm, but when we allow the peace of Christ to rule in us, it gives us the strength to face difficulties with grace. It doesn’t mean everything will go perfectly, but it means we can experience calm even in chaos. When life feels unsettled, turn to Jesus and let His peace be the anchor for your soul. And don’t forget the key to maintaining that peace: thankfulness. By focusing on what God has done and being grateful, we shift our perspective from what’s wrong to what’s right, fueling our ability to press on with confidence.
