And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.—Colossians 3:15 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
May I always remember to be thankful—for You have called me to live in peace.
Though the cold winds of
change blow against me and the storms of life in this fallen world rage all
around me, You have given me the amazing privilege of allowing Your peace—the peace
that comes from Christ—to rule and reign in me.
It is not a peace that the
world can give—as if the world could ever give me true peace—but it is a peace
that transcends all circumstances and goes beyond my human capacity to
understand.
As I allow Your peace to
live in my heart, I can take up my responsibility to live at peace with others
in the body of Christ, so that I can do my part to bring unity within the
church, and together we can be a beacon of hope to a lost and dying world.
May my heart become so
saturated with the peace of Christ that it flows out of me and brings peace to
everyone I meet—that You might be glorified in me.
May I always remember to be thankful—for You have called me to live in peace.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
