Monday

Psalm 4:8; 2 Thessalonians 3:16 & Hebrews 12:14

As we pursue peace with others, God guards our rest and quiets our hearts through every uncertainty.

This Week's Practice

Identify one relationship that feels unsettled and pray for that person each morning this week — before you rehearse the hurt, offer them to God first.

Wednesday

Pursuing peace with others is not weakness — it is the courageous work of someone who trusts God enough to lay their pride down.

A Question to Sit With

Is there a relationship in your life right now where God is calling you to be the one who pursues peace first?

Friday

Prayer

Lord, where there is tension in my relationships, give me the humility and courage to pursue peace. Let Your peace that passes all understanding rule in my heart this weekend. Amen.

Weekend Nudge

This weekend, take one small step toward peace in a relationship that needs it — a kind word, a text, a prayer for someone who has hurt you.
