Conflict is not fun…or it shouldn’t be. But, it’s inevitably a part of life. Conflict will arise in your life…I guarantee it but God has given us tools and principles to work through these times.

_

Remember the tools God has given you in His Word as well as the people in the body of Christ. We can help one another along the way and God's Word is THE best resource for wisdom related to conflict and being a peacemaker.

Here are a few tips for help with conflict based on many scriptures:

 

-Seek The Lord through Prayer: Pray – Before, During, and After. - -Seek The Lord!

-Seek God’s Word.

-Seek Godly Counsel.

-Approach the conflict directly as much as possible whether a person or some other situation.

-Get additional help if needed.

Being a peacemaker doesn’t equal being a peacekeeper. You cannot keep the peace all by yourself. You’re good but you’re just not that good. :-) You can only own your part, you can only own your actions.

_

If you want to be a peacemaker, remember that God through His Holy Spirit empowers to be a peacemaker.

_

As a follower of Christ, I pray you seek to be a peacemaker all the days of your life through your attitudes, actions, serving others, sharing your faith and living your life from a heart that if fully devoted to and seeks after Him with all that is within you. Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
