Instruments of God’s Peace

 Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace….  The prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

There’s more than enough anger in the atmosphere. I can only see to my own mood, so I am choosing to be a lightworker—a light in the darkness. I will endeavor to set judgements aside for now, in order to concentrate on peace.

What might happen if everyone chose peace? What would happen to our world? The possibility is almost beyond hope, but still—“let there be peace on Earth, and may it begin with me”. Let it begin with me. I am the only person I can influence, so I want to be part of the solution.

Today, I will show kindness to all. Today I will have gratitude for my abundance, and I will attempt to put it into a semblance of order. May order within create order without. If it starts with me, I charge myself with the task of embodying peace.

When I start falling out of peace, I will take a moment to sit quietly and simply be thankful for my life—for my family, my friends, for all that I’ve been given. 

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace. 💚🌏🌎🌍💚
