Seeking first to understand, then to be understood would be a great way to quiet the turmoil and conflict in the world.
Just because I choose to try and understand where someone is coming from doesn’t mean I agree with them but it does mean I value my peace more than my opinion.
When faced with the choice of being right or being kind–choose kind. (Wayne Dyer)
2 Thessalonians 3:16, “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.â€
Journal your thoughts:
What am I grateful for today?
In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?
What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?
Prayer:
God, I offer myself to Thee—To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always! Amen. (Third Step Prayer – Chapter 5, pg.63, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)
