Peace Is A Person
Day 2 — July 1, 2025
 
 PEACE IS A PERSON

 Scripture of the Day:
Ephesians 2:14 (NLT) –
“For He Himself is our peace…”
 
Read that again.
HE. HIMSELF. IS. OUR. PEACE.
 
Not a vibe. Not a temporary escape.
Not something you find in a quiet room or a perfect moment.
PEACE has a name. His name is JESUS.

 
Key Point:
 
Peace isn’t a feeling you wait for — it’s a Savior you run to.
You don’t need everything around you to be calm when the One inside you carries peace in His voice.
 
Your situation doesn’t need to change for you to have peace.
Your circumstances don’t have to cooperate.
Because peace isn’t something you create — it’s someone you connect to.

 Devotional Thought:
 
Let’s get honest.
 
You’ve said it before:
“I just need peace.”
But deep down, what you were really saying was:
“I need this pain to stop.”
“I need this fear to go away.”
“I need something or someone to fix this mess.”
 
But here’s the truth:
You don’t need a solution — you need a Savior.
You don’t need everything to change — you need to rest in the One who doesn’t.
 
Peace doesn’t come when the storm ends.
Peace comes when JESUS walks in.
 
You can have a thousand things falling apart around you — and still have peace when Jesus is present.
 
You can be in the courtroom, the hospital room, or the trauma of your past… and still feel peace that makes no sense — because it’s not from this world.
It’s not about control.
It’s about connection.

 
To Every Resilient Woman Reading This:
 
You’ve tried to find peace in people who left.
In pills that wore off.
In silence that didn’t last.
In relationships that broke you.
But peace was never a place. It was never a person on this earth.
Peace has always been Jesus.
 
He doesn’t just give peace.
He IS peace.
 
And the moment you make room for Him —
in your heart, in your mind, in your morning, in your pain —
everything changes.
 
The storm may not stop.
But you’ll be unshaken.

 
Today’s Spoken Affirmation:
 
“Jesus, You ARE my peace. Not my feelings. Not my circumstances. You alone.”
 
Say it like your soul is listening.
Say it until the chaos inside gets quiet.
Say it until your anxiety can’t speak louder than your faith.

 
Today’s Challenge:
 
‘’When anxiety rises today — and it will try —
PAUSE.
Put your hand on your chest and say aloud:
“Jesus, You are my peace.”
Then breathe.
Again.
And again.
Until His presence is greater than your pressure.

 
Daily Prayer (Let This Be Your Reset):
 
Jesus, I’ve been chasing peace through people, through progress, through performance… but none of it works.
Today, I come to You. I sit with You. I invite You into every storm, every fear, every place I pretend to be okay.
Be my peace — not just in theory, but in reality.
Settle my spirit. Still my thoughts.
And help me to stop looking for peace, and start looking to You.
Because You don’t just carry peace — You ARE peace.
And in You, I am safe.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

My Journey To Resilience And Redemption

Hey Resilient Woman, 

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am a woman who has experienced the depths of pain, addiction, and trauma—but also the transformative power of God’s grace and healing. My life is a testimony of how surrendering to God can bring renewal and restoration, no matter how broken the pieces may seem.
 
For years, I struggled with addiction, loss, and the scars of past trauma, but through faith and determination, I found freedom and purpose. Today, I dedicate my life to helping other women discover that same freedom. Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I strive to create resources that inspire hope, build resilience, and guide women on their journey to recovery—just as I’ve been guided on mine.
 
I believe healing is possible for every woman, no matter her story. My mission is to provide faith-based tools and encouragement to help women see their worth, embrace God’s promises, and walk boldly into the life He has planned for them. I am living proof that God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful, and it is my heart’s calling to walk alongside others as they step into their own transformation.
