Becoming A Peacemaker

What if peace isn’t the quiet that follows an argument, but the presence that steadies you before it even starts? Today we unpack the calling to be a peacemaker and why that identity changes how we engage conflict at home, at work, and within our own thoughts. Starting with the beatitude “Blessed are the peacemakers,” we explore how peace reveals our family resemblance to God and how it becomes a lived practice rather than a vague ideal.
We begin by grounding peace in relationship with God—why justification by faith calms the inner scramble to earn worth and gives us courage to face hard conversations. From there, we get practical about seeking peace with others: choosing forgiveness over resentment, listening with curiosity, naming harm without hostility, and taking the first step toward reconciliation even when it feels one-sided. Along the way, we confront the myths that peacemaking means avoiding conflict or agreeing with everything, and we offer language for holding firm in love when tensions rise.
Finally, we turn to inner peace. Anxiety, fear, and worry can run the show unless we redirect our focus through prayer, gratitude, and honest surrender. Drawing on Philippians 4, we outline simple rhythms—breath prayers, mindful pauses, and nightly handoffs to God—that help guard our hearts and minds with a peace that surpasses understanding. We close with reflective questions to help you locate where peace is needed most and a gentle invitation to act on it today.

Seeking peace. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew chapter 5, verse 9. Welcome to day 35 of Faith for Everyday. Today's devotional is about something we all desire. Peace. In a world filled with conflict, division, and unrest, God calls his children to be peacemakers. But what does that really mean? Matthew chapter 5 verse 9 tells us, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. This verse is not just about avoiding conflict, but about actively seeking to bring peace into our homes, workplaces, relationships, and even within our own hearts. Being a peacemaker means working to resolve disputes, showing love in the face of hostility, and reflecting Christ's heart in every situation. But peace is not just about the absence of conflict, it is about the presence of God. Isaiah chapter 26 verse 3 says Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee. When we keep our focus on God, he fills our heart with his perfect peace, even in the midst of storms. Here are three key ways we can seek peace in our daily lives. True peace starts with being in the right standing with God. Romans chapter 5 verse 1 says Therefore, being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. If there is anything separating you from Him, bring it before Him today in repentance and trust in His grace. 2. Seek peace with others. The Bible calls us to follow peace with all men. That means choosing forgiveness over resentment, love over anger, and understanding over judgment. If there is something you need to reconcile with, take a step forward towards peace today. And three, seek peace within yourself. Anxiety, fear and worry can steal our inner peace. Philippians chapter 4 verse 6 to 7 reminds us, be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Give your burdens to the Lord and rest in his perfect peace. Being a peacemaker is not always easy. Sometimes it means humbling ourselves, walking away from arguments or choosing silence instead of proving a point. Other times it means standing firm in love when others choose hostility. But the promise in Matthew chapter 5 verse 9 is powerful. They shall be called the children of God. When we choose peace, we reflect the heart of our Heavenly Father. Today I encourage you to examine your life. Are there any areas where you need God's peace? Are there relationships that need healing? Take a moment to pray, surrender your heart to God and ask Him to help you be a peacemaker wherever you go. Thank you for joining us today on Faith for Every Day. May the peace of God rule in your hearts today and always. Join us again tomorrow for another episode.
