The peace Lysa points to in this final chapter is not the absence of conflict or the presence of perfect relationships — it's something far more stable and far more available to you right now.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Lysa concludes by describing a peace that is not contingent on unpredictable people, circumstances, or experiences. What has your peace been contingent on in the past? What happens to you internally when those contingencies don't hold?
2.She makes the case that the stability you long for must ultimately be found in your relationship with God — not in getting everyone around you to behave or in circumstances finally going right. Is that genuinely good news to you, or does it feel like a consolation prize? Be honest.
a.What would you have to give up believing to accept that God's presence is truly enough for your peace?
b.What would you gain?
3.The chapter brings the book full circle — from the exhaustion of living at the mercy of others' choices to the freedom of being anchored in something unshakeable. Where do you see yourself on that spectrum now, compared to when you started the book?
