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.

From Chains to Change — How God Redeemed My Life

Hey, Resilient Woman — Your Healing Starts Here

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and turn it into a story of strength, purpose, and redemption. I’ve walked through the fire — addiction, trauma, loss, and pain that tried to silence my purpose — but God’s grace met me in the ashes and taught me how to rise.

I know what it feels like to be broken, to question your worth, and to wonder if freedom is even possible. But I also know what it means to encounter the healing power of God — the kind that restores what was stolen, rewrites your identity, and breathes new life into weary hearts.

Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I’ve made it my mission to walk beside women like you — women who are ready to break cycles, renew their minds, and rediscover the woman God created them to be. This is not about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about learning that your past does not define you — God’s promise does.

As a Certified Addiction Counselor and Faith-Based Recovery Coach, I don’t just offer sessions; I offer safe spaces — places where healing is nurtured, faith is strengthened, and transformation begins from the inside out.

I believe every woman has a comeback story waiting to be written — and I’m here to help you write yours. Because if God could redeem my life, He can surely restore yours. 

Healing is possible. Hope is real. Freedom is yours — and it starts with saying yes.

With love and grace,

Dashonia Marie

Founder, Encouraging Her Resilience
Certified Addiction Counselor & Recovery Coach
