Peace with everyone sounds nice, but also totally unrealistic. After all, Paul, who wrote this, didn’t know your stepmom, your basketball coach, or your chemistry teacher. Peace with them is impossible. But the truth is, peace is always hard. And he doesn’t have to know your specifics to know that asking to live at peace is a big ask. But he still does it. Why? Because Paul knows when we don’t live at peace it affects more than just that one relationship. Tension with anyone overflows into every area of our lives. So when Paul tells us to live at peace for our good. He wants us to live healthy lives and up to the best of our potential. And lives at peace are the best way to do that. 

Today’s challenge is to write down the name (or nickname) of someone you are having a hard time living at peace with. Spend time today praying for God to be present in that relationship specifically.
