Choose a practical assignment from the list below. Focus on practicing one of these Christian virtues on a regular basis. Justify your selection.

Practice the actions of a peacemaker as shown in Matthew 5:9 (opens in new window). Pray on five separate days for individuals who have offended you and with whom you have a broken relationship. If possible, take the initiative in restoring this relationship, asking forgiveness if necessary.
Practice an attitude of joy and gratitude as stated in Galatians 5:22 (opens in new window). Take time on five separate days to take notes and reflect on the positive blessings that you have in your life. Resist the temptation to be negative and critical.
