– Staying calm in chaos shouts louder than fear.
Peace isn’t soft. Peace is not passive. Peace is power wrapped in stillness.
There’s a kind of calm that doesn’t come from deep breathing or empty mantras—it comes from knowing who your God is. The enemy isn’t just after your job, your relationship, or your finances—he’s after your peace. Why? Because once your peace is gone, panic is easy to plant. Chaos loves to be loud. But peace? Peace stands still and unshaken.
For as long as I can remember, people have called me calm. It’s a part of me that’s visible—even when storms rage behind the scenes. I’ve been in volatile situations, but I’ve worked hard to develop my peace. Not the fake kind that hides fear with a smile, but a real, earned stillness that was shaped in pressure.
So do I feel the emotion? Absolutely. I’ve just learned to manage it. That doesn’t mean I ignore what’s happening inside of me—but I refuse to let those emotions lead me. I’ve learned to take them to God before I take them out on others. Peace is something I’ve chosen over and over again, and each time it’s strengthened me a little more.
Jesus didn’t just calm the storm—He slept through it. That was a declaration. He wasn’t ignoring the storm; He was reminding the storm who had the final say. That same Spirit lives in you. Peace isn’t pretending everything’s fine. It’s deciding not to let what’s around you dictate what’s within you.
When you stay grounded while everything is shifting, you send a louder message than fear ever could: I trust God more than I trust what I see.
Let the storm howl. Let the winds blow. Your calm is not a compromise—it’s a command. Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” That kind of peace doesn’t just visit; it guards. It stands watch over your emotions, your mind, your reactions.
So the next time trouble rises, don’t panic—posture. Don’t react—rest. Peace is your protest against fear. And when the enemy comes looking for chaos, let him find you unmoved, unshaken, and unbothered. That’s not weakness. That’s warfare.
