The Fruit of The Spirit: Peace
Story summary
A trip to a new amusement park goes sideways when it’s revealed that the park’s owner, Pippin Panda, doesn’t believe in rules. After getting cut in line, having cotton candy stolen, and missing out on riding rides due to absentee ride operators, Greybobby has to step back and pray for peace in the midst of chaos.
Galatians 5:22-23
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
What Did We Learn?
- Peace isn’t about everything going the way we want—it’s about trusting God even when things feel out of control.
- Greybobby learned that when everything around him was chaotic, he couldn’t find peace by yelling or trying to fix everything himself.
- Real peace comes from Jesus, who can calm the storms outside and the storms inside our hearts.
- When we let His Spirit guide us, He fills us with a peace that no amusement park, no crowd, and no chaos can take away.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for teaching us that true peace comes from You.
When life feels crazy and unfair, help us remember to stop, breathe, and trust You.
Calm the storms in our hearts like You calmed the sea, and fill us with the peace that only Your Spirit can give.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
