I expect that you have been blessed by the LORD with an increase of the fruit of the Spirit ‘peace’ in dangerous, devastating and/or challenging times/seasons including dying of loved ones, deep grieving, and mourning of loss Mark.
I pray that you and I do our best to make peace with our family members who are offended or who offended us and that we take the first step to forgive/ask for forgiveness, and that we dampen tensions with kindness and good humor in these trying times, my brother-in-Christ PVT Mark Zehner.
I pray that leaders of all sorts avoid surrounding themselves with yes people and people who generally agree with our own point of view. I pray that YOU use individuals to challenge our plans, assumptions, goals, and proposed methodologies as part of individual sanctification.
I lift the governors of the states and territories in this nation and their counterparts in other nations as well as the president of this nation and presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors in other nations to YOU. I pray that genuine trust is being built up and mutually sustained between the elected executives and that consensus among the opposition members is increasing in terms of priority and requirements.
Thank YOU, Lord Holy Spirit for blessing each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters with an increase in the fruit of the Spirit in perfect timing to bless others.
I pray that YOU enable each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to be peacemakers and enable us to help to restore peace in family’s neighborhoods and work environments.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Thursday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs This really is a good time to work on our peace and our serenity...I've been teaching a lot of virtual stress management and mind-body workshops and it seems to really be helping those with anxiety/anger/stress issues. This is something we DO have Control over...not the situation but our response to it.

Good morning COL Mikel Burroughs and all the rest of my RP Family. Peace is something people long for but how do they go about it and what do they really want from their definition of peace? Are they seeking true peace or false peace in order to obtain a desired outcome for a not so desirable purpose. Peace seems to be a very unobtainable proposition for a long period of time. What kind of peace do YOU desire and how will YOU get it? I believe that I have found a piece this morning that will address those questions I posed. As is written in Philippians 4:7 ESV “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Have a blessed day today and always.

What does the Bible say about peace?
Answer: Peace is something everyone wants, yet few seem to find. What is peace? It can be defined as “tranquility, harmony, or security.” Depending on the situation, it could mean “prosperity” or “well-being.” Various forms of the word peace are found 429 times in the King James Version of the Bible. There are different types of peace, including false peace, inner peace, peace with God, and peace with man.
In the Old Testament, the primary Hebrew word for “peace” is shalom, and it refers to relationships between people (Genesis 34:21), nations (1 Kings 5:12), and God with men (Psalm 85:8). Peace is a desired status in each of these arenas, and shalom is often tied to a covenant or a promise kept. A familiar friend (literally, “friend of my peace” in Psalm 41:9) is one with whom you would be at ease, a trusted companion. “Peace” was the standard greeting (1 Samuel 25:6), still used in many cultures today.
Peace is directly related to the actions and attitudes of individuals; but it is ultimately a gift from God (Isaiah 45:7; Leviticus 26:6; John 14:27). The presence of peace indicates God’s blessing on man’s obedience (Isaiah 32:17; Malachi 2:5) and faith (Isaiah 26:3). There is no peace for the wicked (Isaiah 48:22).
As valuable as peace is, it is not surprising to find that it is sometimes counterfeited. Empty promises of peace can be used to manipulate others. Deceitful men speak words of peace while secretly planning evil (Obadiah 1:7). The Antichrist will confirm a treaty, producing a temporary peace which he will then abruptly shatter as he reveals his true colors (Daniel 9:27). False teachers proclaim peace when God is actually proclaiming judgment (Ezekiel 13:10-16). In Jeremiah’s day, the religious leaders dealt only with the symptoms of the national problems, without addressing the sinful root of the crisis. These false prophets declared everything was well between God and Israel: “Peace, peace,” they said, when there was no real peace (Jeremiah 6:14).
In the New Testament, the primary Greek word for “peace” is eirene, and it refers to rest and tranquility. A key focus of peace in the New Testament is the advent of Jesus Christ, as announced by the angels in Luke 2:14 (“Peace on earth . . .”). Isaiah had predicted the Messiah would be the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), and He is called the Lord of peace in 2 Thessalonians 3:16. It is through Christ’s work of justification that we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), and that peace will keep our hearts and minds secure (Philippians 4:7).
God commands us to seek peace (Psalm 34:14; Matthew 5:9). We should “make every effort to do what leads to peace” (Romans 14:19). Of course, there will be some people who do not desire peace, but we are still to do our utmost to be at peace with them (Romans 12:18).
Believers have an obligation to “let the peace of God rule” in their hearts (Colossians 3:15). This means we have the choice either to trust God’s promises (letting His peace rule) or to rely on ourselves and reject the peace He offers. Jesus gave His disciples peace based on the truth that He has overcome the world (John 14:27; 16:33). Peace is a fruit of the Spirit, so, if we are allowing the Spirit of God to rule in our lives, we will experience His peace. To be spiritually minded brings life and peace, according to Romans 8:6.
The world will continue to have wars and interpersonal conflicts until Jesus comes to establish true, lasting peace (see Isaiah 11:1-10), but God will give His peace to those who trust Him. Jesus took the chastisement of our peace (Isaiah 53:5) and has made it possible for us to have peace with God. Once His peace rules in our hearts, we are able to share that peace with others; we become publishers of peace (Isaiah 52:7) and ministers of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18).
Have a blessed day today and always.
