Finding Peace Through Faith: My Journey

Hey there, friends! It’s Sarah here, and today I want to share something close to my heart – my journey to finding peace through faith. Let’s get real for a moment, shall we?

Life can be messy, can’t it? As a mom of two, a wife, and an entrepreneur, I’ve had my fair share of chaos. There were days when I felt like I was drowning in to-do lists, doubts, and worries. Maybe you’ve been there too?

But here’s the thing – in the midst of all that craziness, I found an anchor. That anchor is my faith in Jesus Christ.

Now, I’m not saying that having faith suddenly made all my problems disappear. (Wouldn’t that be nice?) But what it did do was give me a new perspective, a sense of peace that goes beyond understanding.

I remember one particularly tough day. The kids were sick, my business was facing challenges, and I felt like I was failing at everything. In that moment of overwhelm, I turned to my Bible. The verse that jumped out at me was Philippians 4:6-7:

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized I had been trying to carry all my burdens alone when I could be handing them over to God.

From that day on, I made a conscious effort to incorporate my faith into my daily life. Here are a few practices that have made a big difference for me:



Starting my day with prayer and scripture: Even if it’s just for 5 minutes while my coffee brews, this sets the tone for my entire day.



Practicing gratitude: Focusing on what I’m thankful for, even in tough times, has shifted my perspective in amazing ways.



Connecting with a faith community: My church family has been an incredible source of support and encouragement.



Serving others: Reaching out to help others, even in small ways, has brought so much joy and purpose to my life.



Now, don’t get me wrong – I still have tough days. I still worry and stress sometimes. But the difference is, I know I’m not facing those challenges alone. I have a loving God who’s got my back, and that brings me so much peace.

If you’re struggling to find peace in your own life, I encourage you to lean into your faith. Open your Bible, pray, connect with other believers. You might be surprised at the peace you find, even in the midst of life’s storms.

Remember, friends, you are loved, you are valuable, and you are never alone. God’s got you, always.
