Sunday Night Blog: Perfect Peace

-

 This week was a whirlwind. A beautiful, exhausting, exhilarating whirlwind. I launched one of the most personal books I’ve ever written—a book that carries pieces of me between its pages—and with it came the podcast, the interviews, the late nights, and the full schedule. I knew it was going to be busy. I knew the weight of what I was releasing. And I knew if I wasn’t intentional, peace would slip through my fingers before I even had the chance to hold it.

So I made a decision before the chaos hit. I decided that peace wasn’t going to be an afterthought—it was going to be a priority. I wouldn’t wait until I felt overwhelmed to go looking for it. I was going to guard my peace before the storm rolled in. That meant taking deep breaths when my mind started racing, whispering “God, I trust You” when the pressure crept in, and refusing to let anxiety run my schedule. It meant knowing that I don’t have to carry what God has already covered.

And now, on this Sunday night, as I sit with all the emotions of this week—the gratitude, the exhaustion, the joy, and the weight of it all—I feel something even stronger: peace. Not the kind that comes when everything slows down, but the kind that stays steady in the middle of it. The kind that isn’t shaken by deadlines or expectations. The kind that reminds me God is still in control, even when life is moving fast.

So if you’ve been carrying more than your heart can hold, if your week has left you drained, I want to remind you of this: perfect peace isn’t found in the absence of pressure—it’s found in the presence of God. And He’s right there, offering you rest, covering you with grace, and reminding you that you are held, even in the whirlwind.


🎵 Meditation Song: "Perfect Peace" – Marvin Sapp

Let His peace settle in. Let His presence remind you that you don’t have to hold it all together—He’s already holding you. 💙

  Day 5: The Wedding Day – Stepping Into the Promise Scripture: "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." —Revelation 19:7 (NIV) Devotional: The waiting is over. The long nights, the prayers, the preparation—it all led to this. The bride stands at the altar, fully dressed, fully prepared, fully ready . She doesn’t hesitate. She doesn’t question if she belongs here. She knows this moment was always meant to be. But how many of us pray for the promise, only to freeze when it finally arrives? We question if we’re qualified, if we’re worthy, if we can really handle what we’ve been waiting for. But sis, let me remind you— God didn’t bring you this far to leave you standing at the altar in fear. The same God who prepared you for this moment is the same God who will carry you through it. Every delay, every lesson, every “not yet” was God making sure you’d be ready when the doors opened. This isn’...

  Day 4: The Wedding Rehearsal – Preparing in Faith Scripture: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." —Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Devotional: Before the big day, there’s a rehearsal. A walk-through. A moment to act like it’s already happening before it actually does. The bride doesn’t wait until the wedding day to figure things out—she steps into the rehearsal fully believing that the real thing is on its way. She practices her steps, fixes her posture, and moves with confidence because she knows it’s coming. And that’s exactly what faith looks like. Faith isn’t waiting until the door opens to get ready—it’s preparing before you even see it happen. It’s walking like it’s yours before it’s placed in your hands. It’s making room, shifting your mindset, and putting things in order as if you already have the answer in front of you. Sis, are you waiting or are you preparing ? Because there’s a difference. One sits still, hoping something...
