What is the price of peace?
We spend our lives chasing it, believing peace is something to be gained—always just out of reach. We convince ourselves that happiness will come with the next possession, the next achievement, or when life finally aligns with our expectations.
But this is the great illusion.
The ego feeds on an insatiable hunger for more. It whispers that fulfillment is one step away, yet its thirst can never be quenched. The devil delights in this endless pursuit, keeping hearts restless and souls distracted.
In truth, peace was never something to acquire. It is found not in what we gather, but in what we surrender.
So, what is the real price of peace?
Ironically, it costs nothing—yet it requires everything. Peace is freely given to those who turn inward, who recognize the immeasurable wealth of their own soul. It is better to wear rags with a full heart than to be draped in riches with an empty soul.
Jesus said it plainly in Matthew 6:26 (NIV):
“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”
If God provides for the birds, how much more will He provide for you?
Peace isn’t earned through striving—it’s received through trusting. When we rest in God’s presence, the noise of the ego quiets, and the heart finds its true home.
