If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

God’s will is for us to live in peace at all times. Peace is His gift to us. Although not everyone is always willing to be at peace with us, we should strive to make peace with them if at all possible. Jesus said the “makers and maintainers of peace” would be called the children of God (Matthew 5:9 AMPC).

The more we stay at peace and dwell in rest, the easier it is for us to be led by God’s Spirit and to hear from Him. God has often reminded me to relax, because that is the best way to allow Him to flow through us and do the work He desires to do. Let your mind, your emotions, and even your body be relaxed, and trust God, who lives in you, to flow through you, guiding you into His perfect will for you in every situation.

Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for the wonderful gift of peace. Help me live and remain in peace with all people, at all times. In Jesus’ name, amen.
