Read Isaiah 26:3.
A steadfast mind is one that is focused on God. The steadfast mind or as the writer of Hebrews would say, the renewed mind trusts in God and is not shaken by circumstances. As we are focused on God by studying the scriptures, worship, prayer and service we have peace in our heart. This peace is not an emotion we create but a gift from Jesus the prince of peace as we fix our eyes on Jesus. It is a peace that fills our heart despite circumstances because it is steadfast, focused and unwavering.
Peace in our heart and life is worth more than we can calculate. Knowing that everything is good with us and God and knowing we have a glorious home in heaven gives us a peace that is beyond understanding. Let us put our faith and trust in the prince of peace.

I rest beneath the Almighty's shade,
My griefs expire, my troubles cease;
Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed,
Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.
