The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count

‘If your peace depends on everything going right, it’s not peace, it’s control. Learn to be steady in uncertain times—that’s real growth.’

✅ Peace is not control

John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled.”

Real peace isn’t when everything goes right—it’s rooted in Christ, not circumstances.

✅ Growth happens in uncertainty

Isaiah 26:3 – “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you.”

Mark 4:39–40 – Jesus calms the storm, teaching peace is His presence, not absence of problems.

Growth = staying steady when life is shaky.

✅ How to walk in steady peace

Colossians 3:15 – “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” → Peace is a choice.

Philippians 4:6–7 – Prayer leads to peace that guards our hearts and minds.

Practice trust in the moment: “Lord, I trust You right now.”

Make Today Count by releasing control and embracing God’s peace. Pray, trust, and fix your mind on Him.
