Choosing Peace

Consciously choosing to be peaceful isn't always easy. In fact, inside we might feel agitated, at first. But acting as if you feel peace is a beginning. Give it a try today. Your attempt will be felt far and wide. ~ Karen Casey

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things
I cannot change... We pray this assuming
we cannot change what's going on.  We pray
choosing peace. In a way, we're saying Would that
I would change this right now. And turning loose
is not our choice by nature, not really our desire,
rather a choice that we know is right, surrender,
Your will, not mine be done. But add the other truth,
Ask and you will receive. So asking for peace is to be peaceful.
Try it. Your peace is contagious. Your peace places you
amid peace, making your world peace-full.
