Peace is a promise, but it’s also something Scripture tells us to pursue.

In 1 Peter 3:10–12, we’re told to turn away from evil, do good, seek peace, and pursue it. That means a peaceful life isn’t necessarily the automatic result of loving God. There are choices, boundaries, habits, relationships, thoughts, and patterns we may have to address if we want to actually live in the peace Jesus makes available to us.

In this Jesus Timeout, Juliana explores what it means to actively pursue peace with God rather than continually participating in the very things that disturb it.

Sometimes pursuing peace means changing what you entertain. Sometimes it means having the conversation. Sometimes it means setting the boundary. Sometimes it means walking away from unnecessary conflict, refusing to rehearse an offense, or becoming more intentional about what gets access to your internal world.

Peace isn’t passivity. And pursuing peace doesn’t mean avoiding everything difficult.

It means learning how to remain anchored in God while becoming responsible for what you allow to continually disrupt the life He is forming in you.

If your life has felt noisy, heavy, relationally complicated, or internally unsettled, this is your invitation to ask:

What would it look like for me to actually pursue peace?
