A reflection on where peace is present in your life—and where it's missing.
Shalom is God's word for wholeness—peace with God, within yourself, with others, and in the world you live in. Most of us have more peace in some areas of our lives than in others. That's not a shortcoming. That's just being human, and being honest about it is where formation begins.
These fifteen statements are an invitation to notice where peace is and isn't. There's no score to pass, and nothing here is a verdict on your faith. Answer for how things actually are lately, not how you wish they were. The honest answer is the useful one.
It takes about five minutes. When you're done, I'll send you a personal reflection with a few small practices suited to where you are, and a preview of the Journey into Shalom devotional. You'll receive a seven-day journey of these ideas, one short morning at a time.
Don't forget: read each statement and choose the response that's most true of you these days. Be honest rather than aspirational—this is for your awareness, not anyone's evaluation.
