THE PRAYER BEE

 

 

“ Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech”

                                                         1 Peter 3. 10-12   NIV

 

 

 

It can be difficult to trust God in uncertain times but as believers we know that His Ways are not our ways. Having faith in difficult times can allow us to find peace in God’s Presence. Here in this verse from the first letter of the Apostle Peter, he is addressing God’s people who had been scattered throughout Pontus.

It still speaks to us today as Peter calls on Christians both to live in harmony or refuse to seek revenge even when insulted or troubled with evil.

Sometimes this can be hard to do but true Christians seek and pursue peace and to love life in the midst of trials is a deliberate act of our will. This honours God as it expresses the attitude of our faith. God wants to bless us and form us into a person of integrity and will work with whatever the level of trust and obedience that we give Him. To be honest and full of integrity demands that we remain true to ourselves and uphold our values even when tempted.

An honest life is a secure life that is free from being caught up in a web of lies and deceit. Our attitude must be right to live the best life so may we turn away from evil and do good, search for peace and work to maintain it.

 

 PRAYER

 

Lord God  

May our words always be filled with kindness love and truth and be a reflection of Your Goodness and Grace through Jesus Christ


AMEN
