*When Having Problems in a Relationship* " Lord, I praise You as the God of restoration, for I know You can restore my relationships to complete wholeness. Help me to be in unity with others and to be compassionate, loving, tenderhearted, and courteous, not returning evil for evil, but rather only giving blessings to them ( 1 Peter 3:8-9 ). I praise You as my Creator and recognize that You created all the people with whom I am in relationship. You are their heavenly Father just as You are mine. They are my brothers and sisters, and You love and forgive them as You love and forgive me. You laid down Your life for them as You laid it down for me. Help me to love them as You love me. "
" Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart. " ( 1 Peter 1:22 )
Relationships are sometimes hard to be in, just remember He put us around these relationships for a reason, so love each other like he loves us. He does not want us to fight, He wants us to love. Let Him make us stronger in all of our relationships, whether it be with family, marriage, or friends God Bless us all and make us stronger, wiser, healthier, and happier. Amen- |
