Scripture:
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
– Matthew 5:9 (NIV)
It is sometimes difficult to avoid conflict. With many contentious issues, even online platforms can become a battleground for arguments. The next time you are tempted to engage in an argument online or in person, take a second to step back and ask Jesus how you should respond.
Prayer: Lord, I struggle to be a peacemaker in a world full of conflict. Please guard my heart so that I can love all people and be a peacemaker amidst fiercely opposing views.
Petition: That God would put it on the hearts of those around the world involved in conflict to value one another and seek peaceful resolutions.
