Lent Day 25 – Peace and Taking Action

If you want to get warm you move near the fire. If you want joy, peace, and eternal life, you must get close to what has them.

— C.S.Lewis —

Fact

The longer I live, the more I realize that acquiring peace requires us to take action, and the action is simply turning our lives and all their challenges over to Him early and often every day.

In John 14:6, “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'”

Revelation 21:4, “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”


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 to 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)

P.E.A.C.E.
