A direct answer

How can I find peace when I am still under a lot of stress?

Peace under stress begins with reality, not escape. Name the actual pressures. Decide what is controllable. Pray specifically about what is not. Narrow your attention to the next faithful responsibility. Build limits around work and availability. Receive help. Protect sleep and rest where possible. Scripture’s language of peace is not passivity; it is steadiness rooted in God’s presence and truth while you continue acting wisely.

Bring the honest question. Start there.

A thought to carry

Do not make a clear calendar the price of peace.

If peace can only arrive after every task is finished, it will always stay one item away. Practice a different rhythm: work faithfully, stop intentionally, and let unfinished work remain unfinished for a while.
