Turn from the crowd and do good things, live a peaceful life. We don't have to live a life like everyone else, hustling from one thing to the next, focusing on ourselves only.
We can have a peaceful life even if it is peace that God gives us in the chaos. God can give us peace even when we don't think we should have it. We don't have to spend our lives worried, anxious, or unsettled. When we seek God's plan and strive to live a life that honors him you will be filled with God's peace. Peace in the waiting, in the unknown, in the chaos, we will have peace in all things.
When we are seeking to do good things, things that shine our light before others our life will be filled with joy. We can find joy in serving others and in sharing God's love.
We have to put in an effort to do good. It's easy to do bad things, in fact a lot of human nature causes us to want to do bad things. But there is no joy in doing wrong, there is no peace. If you want to live a peaceful, joyful life, you have to put in the effort. But the good thing is it will always be worth it.
Prayer:
Lord we want to live a peaceful life serving you. We want our life to point others to you. Forgive us for the sins that we have made knowingly and unknowingly. Help us to learn from our mistakes and strive to do better. Help us to spend our time working to honor you. Mold us into the people you have for us to be, people who serve you with joy. Replace our desires with your desires. Give us strength, peace, and boldness to walk the path you have for our life, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Verse:
Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
