...and they shall

beat their swords

  into plowshares,

and their spears

  into pruning hooks;

nations shall not lift up

  sword against nation,

neither shall they

  learn war anymore...

              Micah 4. 3

(Making a daily choice

  to follow God's ways

and walk with Him

  through the volatile

with a heart

   transformed by

   the love of Jesus.

Violence always feeds

on fear and selfishness.

The peace of God

 disarms the confrontation

and changes the course

      into a conversation.

How am I approaching

   this difficult situation

            differently

because I am a believer?)

O LORD,

Teach us Your ways

that we may walk in them

  and walk with You,

despite landmines

and avalanches

and ambushes

          along the way.

Help us to walk

  in Your name

for Your glory in this.

Fill our hearts

      with Your peace

and our pockets

bulging with Your grace.

Help us to be

       known as Yours.
