We have reached the end of #40DaysOfPeace . Thanks to @Bobby_Clayson for issuing this invitation to follow the prophet's counsel to be peacemakers.

Peace is our Savior’s promise, and peace is our goal. This promised peace is the sense of well-being and serenity that comes from keeping His commandments. #40DaysOfPeace

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” It is not easy, and it takes practice, but you can *choose* not to be afraid. One of the lies of the adversary is that we have no choice in how we feel; we are simply beholden to every emotion that comes upon us. Day 38 of #40DaysOfPeace

We need to love and do good to all. We need to avoid contention and be peacemakers in all our communications. This does not mean to compromise our principles and priorities but to cease harshly attacking others for theirs. #40DaysOfPeace

Some people insist that they will only choose peace when their opposition also chooses peace. But peacemakers choose peace no matter the circumstances. Their goal and their aim is peace and their thoughts, words, and actions are all dictated by its pursuit. Day 37 of #40DaysOfPeace

The "Word" is absolutely mightier than the sword. Have faith in the power of the word of God. #40DaysOfPeace

There is only one thing that can bring peace into the world. It is the adoption of the gospel of Jesus Christ, rightly understood, obeyed and practiced by rulers and people alike. #40DaysOfPeace

The scriptures often speak of God's power and the comfort and peace we can take in it. Take peace in the knowledge that the all-powerful God also has your best interests at heart. Day 36 of #40DaysOfPeace

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 #40DaysOfPeace

Stop TRYING to be offended. If you're offended on a regular basis, it's probably because you enjoy it more than you're admitting. But it's stealing your peace. #40DaysOfPeace

Love your enemies #40DaysOfPeace

"Tell the brethren to keep their hearts open to conviction so that when the Holy Ghost comes to them, their hearts will be ready to receive it. They can tell the Spirit of the Lord from all other spirits. It will whisper peace and joy to their souls, and it will take malice, hatred, envying, strife, and all evil from their hearts; and their whole desire will be to do good, bring forth righteousness, and build up the kingdom of God. Tell the brethren if they will follow the Spirit of the Lord they will go right.” JS #40DaysOfPeace

Peace cannot be imposed. It must come from the lives and hearts of men. -Ezra Taft Benson #40DaysOfPeace

One of the key indicators that you've left discussion and lost your peace and entered contention... ...is the presence of anger. Audit your feelings and examine your motivations. #40DaysOfPeace

Hope brings peace because it changes our focus and spurs action. #40DaysOfPeace

We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace. -William Gladstone #40DaysOfPeace

We need to work for a better way—a way to resolve differences without compromising core values. We need to live together in peace and mutual respect, within our defined constitutional rights. -Dallin H. Oaks #40DaysOfPeace

To argue with someone is to give their argument and opinion validity. If someone isn't willing to engage in a good faith conversation... ...It's totally fine to leave the situation and not engage. In fact, it's usually preferable. #40DaysOfPeace
