Meet author Jodie Wolfe and read what she has to say about finding that peace we all desire. Jodie’s latest book was released last week, and in it, her main character faces some tough decisions. But she, like us, can choose peace.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 14:27 KJV

Have you ever found peace to be elusive? Fleeting? You pray and ask the Lord for peace but all you experience is a constant reminder of the storm you’re going through. You can’t see past your current troubles. Every time you think you’re making some headway; you get slammed with something new that’s even harder.

You begin to question whether God is really with you. Is He really listening, or is He busy doing something else? You pray for direction, but no answers come. Or so it seems.

I’ve found myself going through trials through the years that tested my peace in God. Sometimes I floundered and didn’t do so well. Sometimes I recalled His faithfulness. What made the difference?

I need to make a choice of where I focus my attention. Am I going to keep looking at the problem and mull over the ‘what ifs’ and ‘if only’, or will I choose to focus on the truths of God? I choose to remind myself of all the answers to prayer He’s provided through the years. To study His Word to find His faithfulness. To dwell on His promises. Deuteronomy 31:6 reminds me, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Peace is an active choice we can make, even in the middle of a storm. This is something my character, Gertrude Miller, discovers in my new release, Wooing Gertrude. When her life falls apart, she’s faced with some tough decisions.

Will you choose God’s peace today?

Check out Jodie Wolfe’s latest book!

Enoch Valentine has given up finding peace for his past mistakes. He throws everything he has into being the new part-time deputy in Burrton Springs, Kansas while maintaining the foreman position at a local horse ranch. But when trouble stirs on the ranch, he questions whether he’s the right man for either job.

Peace has been elusive for most of Gertrude Miller’s life, especially under the oppressiveness of an overbearing mother. She takes matters into her own hands and sends for a potential husband, while also opening her own dress shop. Gertrude hopes to build a future where she’ll find peace and happiness.

Will either of them ever be able to find peace?
