Being at peace with those who are angry takes a great amount of discipline and reliance on the Holy Spirit. Saying less and praying more may be the best strategy, along with changing a conversation to more positive topics. It’s easy to have the right information about an issue and win an argument, but lose relationships. Peace maker skills are desperately needed but following Christ and His kingdom way will be counter cultural. Trusting the Lord with our whole heart is not relying on ourselves to feet along with trouble makers.
“What is an idol? It is anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.” - Timothy Keller
