How to Walk in Perfect Peace

Yesterday, we started looking at the subject of peace in singlehood. I wrote about 3 kinds of peace that exist. If you missed it, read it here.

Today, we will conclude by looking at how to walk in perfect peace.

1. Follow God’s ways.
There is no lasting joy outside of God’s design for our lives. His principles are not meant to restrict us but to protect and guide us into wholeness. Whenever we choose to go against His word, it may feel freeing in the moment, but it ultimately leaves us restless and drained. True peace flows from obedience, because it keeps us aligned with the One who knows us best.

2. Receive His forgiveness.
Many singles carry unnecessary guilt, believing their current season is a punishment for past mistakes. But God’s forgiveness wipes the slate clean. Once you have repented, He remembers your sins no more—so why should you keep rehearsing them in your mind? Refusing to let go only steals your peace. Accepting His forgiveness means embracing freedom, knowing your singleness is not a curse but an opportunity to grow closer to Him.

3. Stay close to His presence.
Peace is strengthened in the presence of God. Through consistent worship, heartfelt praise, and prayer—even in tongues—you create a spiritual atmosphere that no scheme of the enemy can shake. God’s presence calms fears, lifts burdens, and fills you with assurance that you are not alone in this journey. The more you cultivate intimacy with Him, the more unshakable your peace becomes.

4. Trust His plan.
Our human perspective is limited. We think we know what’s best, but only God sees the full picture. Often, what we think is good for us may not align with His greater purpose. That’s why trust is essential. Trusting God means surrendering your timeline, your desires, and even your anxieties to Him—believing that all things are working together for your good. His plan is always worth the wait.

5. Ask for His peace.
Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and peace is one of His greatest gifts to us. But just like any gift, it must be received. Ask Him daily to fill your heart with His perfect peace—a peace that goes beyond understanding and keeps you steady no matter what life looks like on the outside. The more you ask, the more you’ll experience His peace covering every area of your life.

May God give you strength and fill your heart with peace as you wait.
