Romans 1:7

(I am writing) to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called to be saints (God’s people) and set apart for a sanctified life, (that is set apart for God and His purpose): Grace to you and peace (inner calm and spiritual well-being) from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.  

God wants us to be calm on the inside to be productive for Him on the outside.  We are God’s people set apart and sanctified for His purpose on earth.  The stronger the foundation that we build on the word of God, the more stable we will be.  No matter the storm out foundation in God’s word should mean we are operating if faith and peace.
