finding god’s peace in the

finding god’s peace in the everyday
The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
- Numbers 6:26
God is showing up way more than we think. It’s not always some big moment, sometimes it’s just the little stuff you feel during the day. School might be really hard, but God still finds a way to get to you, and give you his word:
On days when your friend makes you laugh and you need it.
On a day when the teacher actually explains it in a way that makes sense!
On that day when you pass something you were stressing over!
Yeah… that’s God telling you that your safe and he's guiding you.
Home might be calm, loud, or both, but God is there.
In the good vibes when everybody’s chillin’.
In the meals you didn’t even have to ask for.
In those talks that make you feel heard.
Even in the tough moments, He teaches patience, love, and how to keep growing.
When you’re just out moving through your day, riding, walking, minding your business, God is in there too.The truth is, you don’t gotta search. God’s just woven into life, in the peace, the help, the love, the random good moments that pop up and make you smile.
He’s just… there. At school, at home, and all the little spots in between.
Reflect Questions
When was the last time you felt God's presence in a "small" moment that you almost missed? Think about a laugh with a friend, a breakthrough in understanding, or a random moment of peace—how might God have been reaching you through that?
Where do you find it hardest to see God—at school, at home, or somewhere else? What would it look like to start noticing His presence even in those challenging spaces?
How does knowing "God's just there" change the way you move through your day? Does it bring comfort, shift your perspective, or challenge you to pay more attention to the ordinary?
The "God Sighting" Challenge
For the next 7 days, notice and write down one "God moment" each day—a time when you felt peace, help, love, or joy in an unexpected way. It could be as simple as:
A friend's text at the right time
Understanding something that finally clicked
A meal that hit just right
At the end of the week, read through your list and thank God for showing up in ways you might have overlooked. You might be surprised how present He really is.
