peace of god
Sacred inner calm
Peace of God refers to a spiritual tranquility that comes from faith or divine connection—a calm beyond ordinary understanding: The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds.
The phrase appears in Christian scripture and liturgy, describing an inner stillness that transcends worldly anxieties.
Historically, the Peace of God was also a medieval church movement restricting warfare against noncombatants.
