So many of us pray for peace but don’t realize our bodies have to learn how to accept it.

When chaos, struggle, or survival mode have been your “normal” for years — peace can feel uncomfortable. Your nervous system will crave what it knows… even if what it knows is stress.

That’s why you have to put in the reps.

Reps of rest. Reps of stillness. Reps of slowing down.

Reps of choosing calm, over and over again, until peace no longer feels like a threat.

You’re not lazy for resting. You’re not broken for feeling uneasy in calm moments. You’re retraining your body to believe that safety and softness are yours, too.

✨ Put in the reps.

✨ Welcome peace.

✨ Rewire your nervous system one day at a time.

Join my free wellness community for Black women — where we’re learning how to regulate our nervous systems, build better habits, and create lives that feel good from the inside out.

A young woman with braided hair looks directly at the viewer. Overlay text reads "3 signs that God is NOT in it SWIPE" and "lemon8 @achristiangirl.__", serving as the cover for an article on spiritual discernment.
Against a backdrop of green leaves and white flowers, text highlights "#1 overwhelming confusion! (no peace)" and quotes "1 CORINTHIANS 14:33 FOR GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, BUT OF PEACE," detailing the first sign.
Over a blurred outdoor scene with power lines and a sunset, text displays "#2 no signs of the fruits of the spirit!" and lists "GALATIANS 5:22-23 LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL," as the second sign.
PRAY & SEEK GOD if you see any of these signs 🤕✝️
1. overwhelming confusion - 1 corinthians 14:33 - God is a straightforward God. if He wants you to do something He will make sure that you know. & He will keep addressing the issue until you can’t ignore Him anymore. 2. no signs of the fruits of the spirit - galations 5:22-23 - the bible
