Opening Prayer: O peace of Christ, rule in my heart today. Drive out all fear and doubt, all anxiety and insecurity, and make my heart your home.
Scripture: Colossians 3:12-17
Journal: What is ruling in your heart right now? What would it look like to let the peace of Christ rule in your heart
Reflection: “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.” (Col. 3:15)
Something is going to rule in your heart
today. Why not let it be the peace of
Christ? Isn’t love a better motivation
for living a life that is whole and abundant and free than fear is? Choosing to believe that you are, indeed,
chosen, holy, and dearly loved is the way to making the peace of Christ a
reality in your heart. It’s really just a
choice, but one that you must make every minute of every day.
Why let fear and anxiety have free reign
in you? What kind of life is that to
live? Make a choice. Choose to let the
peace of Christ rule in your heart. It
is much more of a choice than you think it is.
Choose his peace. Choose his life. Choose freedom.
Pray
Closing Prayer: “Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!’” (John 20:19) Hear the voice of Jesus today in prayer, offering you his peace.
