True peace in our homes begins with the choice of whom we serve and what we believe. As Christine F. Perry reflects in today's prayer, our beliefs shape our behavior—whether that’s striving to earn love, chasing wealth, or living for earthly rewards. When we choose our own way over God’s, chaos, fear, and anxiety often follow. But when we surrender authority and headship to the Lord, we invite His peace to reign in our hearts and our homes.

Drawing from Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, Christine reminds us that God designed us to “run on Himself” — there is no true happiness or peace apart from Him. Today, we are called to make the intentional choice to serve the Lord, letting His presence shape our relationships, attitudes, and daily life.

Today's Bible Verse: 📖 Joshua 24:15 – “But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

🕊 Key Takeaways

• What you believe determines how you behave.

• Serving God brings peace—serving self brings chaos.

• We were made to run on God alone—peace is impossible without Him.

• Daily surrender is essential for God’s peace to fill our homes.

🙏 Prayer

“Lord, please rule and reign in our hearts and homes today. Help us to spend time with You so we can love as You love, serve as You serve, and live as You lived. We know apart from You we can do nothing, but with You, we can do all things.”
