Have you ever felt a lack of peace, even in the midst of doing all the right things? I know I have. Despite years of studying Scripture, writing sermons, and pouring myself into ministry, there are times when peace feels distant—moments where an unsettled restlessness sets in. In this week's devotional, Kim Reisman explores how she learned (often the hard way) that true peace is not only possible but promised when we keep our minds centered on Jesus. Kim shares personal experiences as well as inspiring stories of others who found peace by staying focused on Christ and faithfully responding to God’s call—even in the face of trials. There’s the remarkable courage of Mrs. Tilly, who faced hostility with grace, and the unshakable peace of Abel Hendricks, a Methodist preacher in South Africa who defied oppression without losing his joy in Christ. I invite you to read it with an open heart and perhaps consider: are you experiencing peace in your life? What steps might God be calling you to take to restore it? I am praying that this message brings you closer to that unshakeable peace that only God can give.
