In this Podcast, we dive into a profound spiritual journey inspired by a heartfelt prayer for peace and forgiveness.

We reflect on the power of sowing love where there is hatred and seeking forgiveness in times of injury.

Discover how a flicker of hope can break through the darkest nights, and how embracing brokenness can transform us into instruments of peace.

We explore the significance of offering ourselves to a higher purpose, even when we feel spent and damaged, and how true understanding lies in consoling others and loving selflessly.

Join us as we praise the divine, seeking to be reborn in spirit and raised to new life.

Let this episode guide you towards peace, forgiveness, and a deeper connection with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

To be an instrument in God's hands means to make ourselves available, rediscover our own value in letting someone else do something, and learn the art of entrusting ourselves to others.

The words “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.” describes some ways we can spread God's peace around us: “Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.”

An "instrument of God" is a person who willfully submits to divine guidance, acting as a vessel or tool to fulfill God's purposes, spread love, and perform work on earth. It implies setting aside one's own will to serve as a conduit for God's power, helping to bring peace, comfort, and salvation to others.
