The Gospel of Peace is the Good News that Jesus has put a whipping on the forces of darkness, on the demons and Hell and on Satan himself. He has made a public spectacle of them triumphing over them at the cross.
What is the significance of this as we engage in battle? We have a readiness, a sure footedness and a preparedness that comes from knowing that the battle is already won. It is the confidence that we have in battle knowing the Gospel or Good News that our King Jesus has already defeated our enemy.
Why is peace important when we are in battle?
So, as we put on the shoes of peace we can stand on them wherever we are called to go to enforce the victory Christ has won for us.
Romans 10:15 says, “And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news.”
Without peace to stand on we have only worry and doubt and lose all our effectiveness in the battle. God will never be moved by doubt, because He is only moved by faith.
Hebrews 11:6 reads, “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”
When you know that you've already won – nothing else matters!
You will have His peace that transcends every situation and circumstance knowing that the End result is “Triumphant Victory!”
2 Corinthians 2:14 states, “But thank God! He has made us His captives and continues to lead us along in Christ's triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.”
So, how do we get the Good News of Peace in the midst of a War with many battles?
“You must put on the Good News of Peace by FAITH!”

I wouldn't put "the end" at the end. That seems to be an ending for a fairy tail, not a devotional.
It's good to know the battle is won, isn't it? You did a good job with this one.
