There are lots of things that can and should upset us. As we look at the world, we should not accept the injustices that we see. However, in order for us to take action and do good in the world, we need to have peace. It is hard for us to respond if we begin with troubled and fearful hearts!
If we want to set out to bring about positive change in the world, we need to take care of ourselves. We need to begin from a place of power and peace. To do this, we can turn to God. Through Jesus, we can find peace, love, and power. With God in our hearts, we can find peace in our own lives, power in Him, and strength to take action. With peace in our hearts, we do not have to be afraid, we can work to lift up others!
Have God's peace in your heart so you are prepared to make the world a better place!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the peace that only You can give. Help me to act on Your peace, love, and power to make the world a better place. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
