HH, Patriarch Sir Johnson
Dear Ones,
In a world that seems designed to steal your peace, I want to remind you that peace is not something you find—it is something you cultivate and guard. Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of divine assurance regardless of external circumstances.
Many of you have allowed your peace to become dependent on your circumstances. When things go well, you feel peaceful. When challenges arise, your peace evaporates. This conditional peace is fragile and unreliable. What you need is the kind of peace that remains steady whether you are on the mountaintop or in the valley.
This supernatural peace is available to you, but you must actively guard it. Your mind is a battlefield, and you must be vigilant about what you allow to take root there. Negative news, toxic relationships, constant complaining, fearful projections about the future—these are all peace-stealers that you have the authority to block at the gate.
Learn to create boundaries. You are not required to engage with every controversy, respond to every provocation, or absorb every negative emotion around you. You have permission to say no, to disconnect, to protect your mental and emotional environment. This is not selfishness; it is wisdom.
Practice the discipline of focusing on what you can control rather than obsessing over what you cannot. You cannot control other people's choices, the economy, world events, or even tomorrow's circumstances. But you can control your thoughts, your responses, your attitudes, and your actions. When you focus your energy here, peace naturally increases.
Make time for silence and stillness. In the constant noise of modern life, peace can only be found in intentional withdrawal. Turn off the devices. Step away from the chaos. Sit in stillness. Let your nervous system reset. Let your mind be quiet. Let divine peace wash over you like waves on a shore.
Your peace is precious. Guard it jealously. Protect it fiercely. Cultivate it daily. When you maintain peace internally, you can navigate any external storm.
Peace be with you,
Patriarch Johnson
