Day Twenty-five: ". . . seek peace, and pursue it." Ps. 34:14b
"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Is. 26:3
Before you consider whether these verses describe your husband, consider your own presence in the home. Do you promote an atmosphere of peace, or do critical words often flow from your mouth? Do you struggle with anger? If so, before you continue with your Encouragement Challenge, confess these sinful habits to the Lord, and determine to speak words of peace to your family today.
Does your husband bring an atmosphere of peace into your home? Is his presence a calming influence? Does he bring music, entertainment, books or people into your home that build a sense of serenity? Let him know how much you appreciate this wonderful quality, and support his choices.
If, on the other hand, he is quickly angered or he creates chaos rather than calm, ask God to give you an abundance of the kind of peace that will speak to his heart. Be patient and loving. Create an inviting atmosphere of peace, as much as possible.: My husband is a very peaceful, and calming influence on my life, and in our home. He rarely ever gets angry, and quickly restores the peace to our life. I am very grateful to have him in my world.

Hi Sweetie,
Thanks for the husband encouragement posts. I will focus on having a calm, peaceful home for my husband to come home to at the end of his work day. It's beneficial to us all--I think we women really do set the tone in our homes, so we must do so prayerfully and lovingly.
