Protecting Your Peace: Spiritual Boundaries in a Draining World

By Colleeno Chippy






“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

— Proverbs 4:23


Protecting your peace is not selfish.

It is spiritual wisdom.

It is emotional maturity.

It is honoring the woman God is shaping you to be.


As I’ve shared in previous blogs, healing isn’t just about what you allow into your life — it’s also about what you refuse to entertain anymore.


Some people drain you.

Some environments break you.

Some conversations disturb your spirit.


Spiritual boundaries are how you say:

“I belong to God — and not everything gets access to me.”



Peace is a Gift — But You Must Protect It


Peace is not passive.

Peace is something you choose and something you guard.


Jesus saw crowds, demands, expectations — yet He often withdrew to pray.

(Luke 5:16)


Even the Savior set boundaries.


If Jesus Himself took breaks from people…

why do we feel guilty doing the same?


You are allowed to:

• Walk away from chaos

• Distance yourself from drama

• Say “no” without apology

• Rest without explanation

• Remove access to your energy



Some Doors Must Close for God to Open the Right Ones


Not everyone is assigned to your destiny.

Some were only part of your history.


And God will protect your purpose by removing what threatens your peace.


“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

— Exodus 14:14


Stillness is a form of protection.

Not everyone deserves entry to the sacred place God healed inside of you.



Peace is Alignment with God’s Presence


Anything that feels heavy…

Anything that keeps you anxious…

Anything that disturbs your spirit…


Is not from God.


God’s presence always leads to peace — even in storms.

God’s guidance always brings clarity — even in uncertainty.


If it costs you peace, it is too expensive.



You’re Not Hard — You’re Healed


People may not like your boundaries —

but they benefit from the healed version of you.


You’re not building walls —

you’re building wisdom.


You’re not pushing people out —

you’re pushing distractions away.


You’re not changing —

you’re growing.

Conclusion


Protecting your peace protects your purpose.

When you remove chaos, you make room for clarity.

When you step away from noise, you hear God more clearly.


You owe no one an explanation for safeguarding what God restored in you.


Stand firm.

Stand soft.

Stand at peace.

God is with you.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
