Speaker 1: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: children of God. Matthew five nine. Dear Heavenly Father, you

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: are the ultimate peacemaker. When we were your enemies, you

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: called us friends and children united under your redemptive work.

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: Your aim is to bridge gaps between you and us,

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: us and each other, and within ourselves as your children.

7
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: I pray we would all emulate your character by being peacemakers.

8
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: As we are transformed by your grace and love. May

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: we continually extend the same to others in Jesus's name. Amen,

Speaker 2: Our goal for today's meditative prayer is healing relationships. Take

18
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,400

Speaker 2: a place where you can focus and can be completely

20
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: in this moment of self reflection, close your eyes, take

21
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: a deep breath, and exhale. Release the thoughts that are

22
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: floating around.

23
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: In your mind.

24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Matthew five nine from the

25
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: King James version, which says, again, Blessed are the peacemakers,

26
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: for they shall be called the children of God. Now

27
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: take a moment to pour out your adoration to God

28
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: his daily blessings of peace. God, I praise you for

29
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: your peace which surpasses all understanding, Your peace that overcomes

30
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: all circumstances, all fears and doubts. Bring your peace to

31
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: my heart.

32
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: God, calm my spirit.

33
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: God, I worship you for giving me the ability to

34
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: be a peacemaker. I praise you for calling me your child.

35
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: I know that you love me and that you have

36
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: already provided a resolution to all.

37
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: The conflict in my life. People can be unkind.

38
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: Others may say and do things that will upset you,

39
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: things that.

40
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: Will hurt your heart, break your trust.

41
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Some will even go out of their way to harm you,

42
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: create discord. There will be people in your life who

43
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: will steal your joy and peace, who will make being

44
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: a peacemaker seem impossible. And even though at times it

45
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: may be or seem difficult and daunting.

46
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: It can still be done.

47
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: You must remember the calling to live in peace and

48
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: God's blessing that comes with it. Let us, now, for

49
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: a moment, reflect on those relationships that need tending. To

50
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: think of those connections, those relationships that have been broken,

51
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: maybe a spouse, a child, friend, parrot, co worker, those

52
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: relationships that are suffering, the situations that seem impossible. Confess

53
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: to the Lord all your hurt, your anger, and your pain.

54
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: Let God into the areas of your heart where his

55
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: peace does not yet rain. Take a moment now to

56
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: dwell on previous blessings of peace that you've enjoyed. Blessings

57
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: from past relationships that were broken but God helped you

58
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: fix them. Think of the delight brought as a result

59
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: of peace. Recollect on past situations where you reached out

60
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: to turn.

61
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: Anger into an agreement.

62
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: Thank God for past resolutions and the fruits of growth

63
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: and joy from those relationships. Give thanks for the moments

64
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: free from the fear and hostility. Thank God for the

65
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: blessings of past peaceful, reconciled relationships and for those yet

66
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: to come. Thank Him for the courage and the boldness

67
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: to stand up for peace. And do not forget. God

68
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 2: is present, He is listening to you. Once again, bringing

69
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: to mind those connections, those relationships that you're struggling with.

70
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: Ask God for the ability to resolve those conflicts. God,

71
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: bring peace and reconciliation to those relationships. Mend old bridgism,

72
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: build new ones.

73
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 3: Pray for peace in all your interactions.

74
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: Peace with your family and your friendships, Peace with your

75
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: superiors at work, your colleagues. Peace in every area, every aspect,

76
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: in every relationship.

77
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: In your life.

78
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: Remember again God has called you to be a peacemaker.

79
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: You are to strive to bring peace where there is

80
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: discord and disagreement, to work towards living amicably an immunity

81
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: with everyone. The Bible says, as much as in you

82
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: is be at peace with all men. Peace can be

83
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: achieved though obedience to God's word and a desire to

84
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: bring harmony to all relationships. You can become a peacemaker

85
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: and be called a child of God. Thank you for
