And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 4:7
Peace is something we can experience whether we are alone or with a group of people. It is a gift that has more to do with our state of being than rational understanding. It is a gift exemplified and promised by Jesus.
Share one way you will practice peace today.
Pray: God, make me an instrument of your peace, today and every day. Amen.
