A Supernatural Gift
Commentators explain that this peace is a direct gift from God, not a feeling we generate ourselves. It is called the 'peace of God' because it originates with Him and is not dependent on favorable circumstances. It is a supernatural calm that exists even amidst turmoil, a reality that, as the verse says, 'passeth all understanding' for those who have not experienced it.
