I think a lot of us are like ducks (stay with me here). On the surface, we’re gliding along, looking calm and collected, but underneath, we’re paddling like crazy just to stay afloat.
With the end of the school year, graduations, and summer plans, life can feel like a lot right now. And that’s just the extra stuff – not to mention the deeper worries weighing on your heart. But when someone asks how you’re doing, you just say, “I’m fine,” because that’s what we do.
But here’s the thing: it’s okay not to have it all together. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and the peace He offers isn’t just surface-level. It’s a deep, unshakable peace that goes beyond our understanding.
Philippians 4:6-7 says, “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.”
So if you feel like you’re paddling like crazy beneath the surface, know that you’re not alone – and that real peace is just a prayer away.
