Becoming a peaceful woman in all situations

Becoming a peaceful woman in all situations

That change, she explains, came from "learning to grow deeper in the Lord and lean on him, no matter what's happening in our life." Debbie builds on this with a vivid picture of life as a spinning child’s top: when trust in God is intact, the top spins smoothly; when worry or sin adds "just a little tiny weight," it starts to "wobble, wobble, wobble, crash." The episode walks through six specific Bible passages, including Isaiah 26:3 and Philippians 4:6–7, breaking them down into simple, repeatable practices: keeping your mind "stayed" on God, turning stewing into prayer, and leaving "God-sized problems" in his hands instead of handing them over to Google.

Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey and wider life challenges with more calm? This conversation between Debbie Chavez and Sarah leans hard into what it means to become "a peaceful woman" in every situation—whether it’s spilled jello in the kitchen or a frightening diagnosis. You’ll hear Sarah share how she shifted from crying over sticky rice on the floor as a young mum to calmly humming worship songs while cleaning up a jello explosion years later.

They also link peace to obedience, asking frankly whether ongoing, deliberate sin might be robbing inner calm. For women juggling recovery, family, finances, and faith, there are practical suggestions too: hourly phone alarms as a reminder to refocus on God, a "God-sighting" journal, chore calendars, evening tidy-up routines, cutting back on activities, and speaking in the same tone you’d use in a nice restaurant.

Perhaps the most tender moment is Debbie’s simple self-coaching phrase in the middle of panic: "Shh, shh, my daddy is here," which she says helped her fall asleep after anxious worry over broken vehicles. If you’re yearning for a steadier, more peaceful spirit in the midst of addiction, anxiety, or everyday chaos, could these small faith-based habits be your next experiment?
