We open with Gideon hiding in a winepress, terrified and hungry, and watch him build an altar called “The Lord is Peace” before any battle is won. That scene reframes everything: God doesn’t just hand out calm; He reveals Himself as Peace—shalom—wholeness, harmony, and flourishing in the middle of pressure and uncertainty. From there, we trace how Scripture invites us to receive peace, such as Colossians 3 which urges us to “let the peace of Christ rule”—to let peace act as an umpire over our competing thoughts and emotions.

Because anxiety is not just spiritual but also physical, we share practical ways to partner with God’s peace: simple breathwork (4-7-8), limiting inputs that inflame worry, grounding in Scripture, and small, steady practices that regulate body and mind. The goal isn’t numbing out; it’s living awake and anchored. If you’ve been longing for a peace that holds when headlines spike and life gets loud, this conversation offers a path to receive and embody it—so it steadies you and spills over to the people you love.

Real change starts beneath the surface. This devotional from The Father’s Business shows how God, the master gardener, uproots harmful roots—division, pride, prejudice—and replaces them with Christ himself. Drawing on passages like Romans 11:16 and Matthew 15:13, it reminds us that lasting transformation isn’t our work but God’s. Through prayer and obedience, He removes what’s destructive and plants holy roots that bear good fruit, uniting us as His dwelling place.

The word faithful sounds warm—until life feels cold. We went straight at the tension: the ache of betrayal, the sting of unanswered prayers, and the fear that maybe God won’t show up this time. Then we opened Scripture where God names Himself—compassionate, gracious, abounding in love and faithfulness—and traced how that unchanging character steadies us when circumstances don’t.

We explored hesed, the covenant love that outlasts our performance, and revisited Israel’s wilderness story: cloud by day, fire by night, and new mercies like fresh bread each morning. Faithfulness doesn’t erase consequences; it tells the truth and still stays. Peter’s journey from denial to restoration shows how Jesus meets failure with purpose, commissioning us even while healing our shame. We also talked about living this out now: training our eyes to notice daily mercies, standing firm in hope when trust breaks, and letting God’s reliability become our anchor when feelings are loud and facts are thin. If your heart needs strength, protection, and a reminder that God keeps His promises, this conversation will meet you with honesty and hope.
