Peace I leave you, my peace I give you...
I need peace.
We need peace.
Our world needs peace.
This week's prompt for the #BISSisterhood is, you guessed it, peace.
Normally to prepare for these posts, I look up the prompt about before the post date and spend about a week praying about what to write. There have been prompts where I've know immediately what I will share, and others where I've worried nothing will come in time. But it always does.
Yet on this topic of peace, I remain speechless.
It's not that I have no thoughts about the subject. I've written, reflected, and given talks about it numerous times. I have notes on inspiring workers for peace, marked scriptures illuminating the peace of God, and reflective songs that continue the conversation of creating peace.
But today, as I reflect on our world - a world thirsting so desperately for peace - all I can do is sit and be still.
I cannot formulate the words to adequately express that desire for peace - that deep longing.
So rather than write to you about peace, in this moment I pray - and if you feel called, I invite you, too, to share in a prayer for peace.
Peace in our world.
Peace in our hearts.
Peace,
Sarah
