Reflection
About thirty years ago, I developed my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic to share with a group of junior high students about what it takes to lead a life of peace. Drawing from my study of great leaders, I noticed six common traits—they lived them out, and they carried a steady sense of PEACE.
P.E.A.C.E.:
- P — Purpose / Plan / Priorities: Know what matters and align your days accordingly.
- E — Effort: Show up consistently and do the work in front of you.
- A — Attitude: Choose your mindset—calm, steady, uplifting, and grounded in truth.
- C — Community: Stay connected; don’t carry life alone.
- E — Energy: Protect and renew what fuels your body, mind, and spirit.
- Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance and help in each of the five areas of P.E.A.C.E. as early and as often as you need.
Living the tenets of P.E.A.C.E. is a powerful way to keep life from stealing your joy, and a practical path to leading yourself and others with clarity and strength.
Truth
Stress isn’t your enemy—it’s a signal.
P.E.A.C.E. is a great way to respond.
Soul Search
Which part of your P.E.A.C.E. is most out of alignment right now, and what’s one step to bring it back today?
Isaiah 26:3, “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
