Run to God, Not Away
But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” – John 6:68-69 NKJV
Reflection
When it comes to conflict, running away is never the answer. Avoiding issues only delays healing and leads to unresolved wounds that follow us into the present. We may distance ourselves physically, but we cannot outrun the emotional and spiritual consequences. We don’t run away from what we must face, nor do we run back to the past. We run to God, trusting in His healing power.
Application
Ask the Lord to help you confront conflicts with courage.
→ Reflect with the help of the Holy Spirit
→ Release unto Him your hurts, lingering disappointment, fear, or frustrations
→ Receive His healing and rest in Him.
Connection
Thank You, Lord, for being my safe place. Help me confront what I try to avoid and walk Your healing. I run to You, trusting in Your grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
