Peace is something we all long for, yet it often feels fleeting. True peace, as described in Scripture, is more than just the absence of stress; it is the fullness of God’s blessing, encompassing physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration. The peace brought by Jesus, the Prince of Peace, comes at a cost. It requires surrender—giving up self-focused pursuits to make room for Christ’s peace. This surrender is challenging, as it involves letting go of what we hold dear.  Ultimately, the greatest act of surrender is Jesus’s sacrifice, which brings us peace with God. Through this, we are invited to reflect on what we need to release in order to experience the fullness of His peace.
