Peace in Impossible Places

 

And He shall be their peace.

                 Micah 5. 5

(Peace,
not based in favorable circumstances,
not in the absence of conflict,
but His peace
   right in the midst of the unlikely.
Learn to seek His peace
          in the every days,
  that we may know how to bring it
  into troubled places
        and volatile situations,
not just for our own comfort,
   but for the goodness
   of many people.
Be the faithful witness here,
   even if no one else is.
Seek His peace
            and pursue it.)

O LORD,
We can live differently
    because we know You.
You are our peace,
   even in impossible places.
Let Your peace reign in our hearts
    that we will know how to
    approach, navigate and
        respond differently.
You change us at our core,
   our actions, our being,
           even our vocabulary.
Whatever we face today,
  may Your peace reign
                   in our hearts
  and get all over everything.
