Super Simple Path to Peace Through Surrender in Christ

Last Updated on December 23, 2024 by Andrea

Longing for peace & tranquility?

Many of us long for peace.

Some of us want peace medically – health for us and our families.

Some of us want quiet in our schedule – less running and more being.

Others want calm in our relationships – more understanding and less unrest

Still others want peace in our hearts – less unease and restlessness

Many long for the peace of God – supernatural peace that moves beyond circumstances

Today I’ll help you find a simple path to peace through studying Scripture

We All Want Peace

In a world filled with chaos and constant demands, finding true peace can feel impossible. Yet, Jesus offers us a real peace that surpasses all understanding – the kind of peace that circumstances can’t change. Philippians 4:7 reminds us, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This peace is not based on our circumstances but on a deep, abiding relationship with Him.

If you’re a Christian woman longing for a simple and practical path to experience this peace daily, you’re not alone. Whether it’s managing family responsibilities, dealing with work stress, or navigating personal challenges, Christ’s peace is available to you. In this post, we’ll explore how to embrace His gift of peace through applying a verse from Isaiah that you can easily fit into your busy life. Let’s discover how you can walk in serenity, anchored in God’s love and grace.

Life

When life feels overwhelming, the grace of God reminds us that we are never alone in our struggles. Through Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace, we have access to a perfect peace that the world cannot offer. God’s peace is not just a fleeting feeling but a steady assurance rooted in His unchanging promises.

The key to finding peace lies in turning to God’s Word, not our circumstances. Scripture shares the promises of God, reminding us of His love and faithfulness.

The good news is that even in times of trial, Jesus encourages us to take good cheer, for He has overcome the world (John 16:33). His great peace guards our hearts and minds, providing hope and strength for our own lives. God’s love reassures us that every good thing in life is a reflection of His abundant kindness. When we anchor our hearts in His truth, we can experience the rest and joy that come from walking in step with Him.

Scripture and Peace

The first thing we need to do is turn to Scripture. The verse I read today comes from Isaiah (26:3) “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you” (NIV). In it, he gives us a short recipe for peace in our souls. While there are plenty of other Biblical tips for this topic, today I’m going to focus on Isaiah’s.

First, the quietude he’s discussing comes from the Hebrew that means “peace, peace” or “perfect peace.” It’s one that is complete or sound.

Second, According to Isaiah, we find that total tranquility by:

• Keeping our minds steadfast – we do this when we rest our mind, or our thoughts, on God. Paul tells us how to do this in Philippians 4:8 when he tells us how to train our minds.
• Trusting in God – Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust God with all our heart. Not part of it. Not just the issues we struggle with. ALL our heart.

This verse means that we find that complete calm we all long for by focusing our thoughts on things that are true, noble, righteous, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy and trusting God with everything on our hearts.

Take time to pray for this quiet and tranquility today, focusing on Isaiah 26:3 and ask your heavenly Father to show you His calm today.

Additional Verses about Tranquility

John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Jesus speaks these words to His disciples as He prepares for His crucifixion. He offers them a peace that goes beyond circumstances—a divine peace that remains steady even in the face of uncertainty. This verse reminds us that the peace Jesus gives is unique and unlike the fleeting peace the world provides through alcohol, food, or binge-watching. It is a source of comfort and courage in times of fear and anxiety.

Colossians 3:15

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”
This verse calls believers to let Christ’s peace govern their hearts, influencing their actions, thoughts, and relationships. As members of the body of Christ, unity and peace are central to our calling. Gratitude is highlighted here as a practice that reinforces peace, reminding us to focus on God’s blessings rather than life’s challenges.

Isaiah 9:6

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
This prophecy of Jesus emphasizes His identity as the Prince of Peace. His birth brought the promise of reconciliation between God and humanity, as well as inner peace for all who follow Him. This verse celebrates Jesus as the ultimate source of peace, both in our personal lives and in the hope of eternal restoration for you as a Christ follower.

Psalm 29:11

“The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”
Here, the psalmist acknowledges God as the provider of both strength and peace. This verse reassures us that God’s peace is a blessing given to His people, equipping them to face life’s challenges with confidence and calmness. It is a reminder that peace comes not from our own efforts but as a gift from God.

Romans 15:1

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
This verse connects peace with trust in God. Paul’s prayer for the Roman believers is that they experience joy and tranquility as they place their faith in God. The result is a life overflowing with hope, empowered by the Holy Spirit. It emphasizes that peace is intertwined with hope and joy, all of which stem from a deep relationship with God.

Give it a try

Give it a try today. The next time you find yourself nervous, worried, upset, anxious – step back from your situation. Find the truth in it. Find something lovely.

Relinquish those concerns to God as you trust Him to take care of the situation.

With love,
