In a culture that often celebrates hustle and noise, peace can feel rare. Yet, peace is the ultimate prize for so many of us and so we asked folks to reflect on when they feel most at peace.

I feel at peace whenever I slow down and am able to take in the beautiful world around me. Sometimes it is a quiet morning when I am sipping coffee outdoors, breathing in the fresh air. Sometimes it is in the evening staring up at a starry sky, wondering about life in other galaxies. Peace comes whenever I am wanting nothing more than this moment. Read More>>

I feel most at peace when I’m outdoors, completely unplugged from the noise of the day. There’s something about horseback riding that instantly centers me — the rhythm, the connection with the horse, and the quiet focus it requires. It’s one of the few times my mind truly slows down. Read More>>

After completing a busy work schedule, I drive to a place near a big lake surrounded by mountains, where a steaming hot pot waits on a picnic table. Together with my closest friends or family, we share the meal as the sun melts into the horizon, while the evening breeze brushes gently against our faces and hair. Read More>>

I’ll be honest—my mind rarely shuts down. I’m always thinking, planning, or moving to the next thing, so peace usually comes to me in short bursts. But there are two places where I feel most at peace: on stage behind my drums and sitting in church. In church, I find a deeper peace through hearing the Word and experiencing salvation. Read More>>

I feel most at peace with a guitar in my hands. Whether I’m performing on stage, writing a song, or just sitting on the front porch picking out a tune, everything else seems to fade away. The music takes over, my mind clears, and for a little while there’s not a single worry in the world. Read More>>

I feel at peace knowing I did my best and everyday that I arise I set forth to do that and I do. Peace comes from within. I paid the ultimate price for peace. I rebuilt and recalibrated myself to enact peace every second of the day. Now peace is serenity, silence, and sincerity. Peace is tranquility. Read More>>
