Peacefulness

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be
called the children of God."

- Matthew 5:9

What is Peacefulness?

Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm that come in moments of silent gratitude or prayer. It is a way of becoming very quiet and looking at things so you can understand them. It is facing your fears and then letting them go. It is trusting that things will be all right.

Peacefulness is giving up the love of power for the power of love. It is practicing justice, which means to be fair to yourself and others. Peacefulness is a way of approaching conflict with others so no one is made wrong. Everyone wins because you work to find a peaceful solution. Peace comes when you give up violence, prejudice, and thinking of others as enemies.

Peacefulness comes from an awareness that all human beings are part of one human family. Peace in the world egins with peace in your heart and peace in your interactions with others.

Affirmation: I am grateful for the gift of prayer. Today I will live in God's Presence. I will find God's answers in quiet moments. I will dedicate my actions to the Divine today.
