Finding Peace in RelationshipsSample

How do I send someone in peace?
When someone leaves your home, do you say, “Go in peace?" They would probably give us a funny look if we did. Yet, this parting phrase reveals an interesting intention. Jethro wasn’t just saying, “Peace out, Moses.” He was telling his son-in-law that all would be well between them during their absence.
Have you ever ended a phone call with the distinct feeling that the conversation hadn’t gone well? You may not even be sure why it didn’t feel right. No harsh words were exchanged, nothing was overtly bad. But you would not have felt sure enough to say, “Go in peace.”
These places of tension cannot be ignored. There is an absence of peace. The pebble in the shoe can raise a blister if we don’t attend to it. That moment before saying goodbye can gift us with a time to pause, reflect, own any faults, and seek peace.
Act
For the next few days, pay attention to partings. Are you leaving peace in your wake?
Pray
God, I can be a speaker of peace. Help me attend to tension and end my interactions well.

About this Plan

Whether it’s social media, the news, or our own households, it’s like no one wants to live in peace. Getting their own words heard—often forcibly—seems to be more important today than just about anything else. It’s exhausting, all this posturing and shouting. What if we start creating spaces of peace? Think what might happen if all these little pockets of peace started popping up all over our communities.
