HABIT #4: Repeat daily.<\/b><\/p>\n

READ IT<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me\u2014put it into practice. . . . and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.\u201d <\/i>(Philippians 4:9,7)<\/p>\n

Some wars are fought for conquest. Some wars are fought for peace. America fought World War II not to conquer any territory, but to maintain the peace and freedom of the entire world. You can fight a war to maintain peace.<\/p>\n

Your mind, your heart, your soul is a raging battlefield. The enemy wants to steal your joy, kill your contentment, and destroy your peace of mind. If you want to experience peace, you\u2019re going to have to fight for it. And this isn\u2019t a one-time battle. It\u2019s a long-term war, a war of attrition. You have to want to fight for peace more than the enemy wants to steal it from you.<\/p>\n

When you get knocked down, get back up. When Satan steals your peace, take back what\u2019s rightfully yours. If you\u2019ve lost a battle, learn from it and win the next one. This fight is for the long haul. Don\u2019t give up. Your peace is worth fighting for.<\/p>\n

WRITE IT<\/b><\/p>\n

Share in the comments below<\/a> and answer this question, \u201cWho is someone you know that exhibits a level of peace that you would love to see in your own life?\u201d<\/p>\n

PRAY IT<\/b><\/p>\n

Jesus, give me the strength and endurance to fight for peace in my life. When the enemy tries to knock me down, please protect me and help me get back up.<\/i><\/p>\n

LIVE IT<\/b><\/p>\n

Watch out today! The enemy is going to use conversations, events, media and your own sinfulness to try and derail you from the peace that God has for you. As many times as you might get knocked down, get back up. Keep fighting. Make it till tomorrow!<\/p>\n
