Lord, you are the only one who can step into my family’s situation and give us peace. Peace from the fighting. Peace from the blaming. Peace from the hurting.
I am not great at apologizing or forgiving – what an awful pair of weaknesses. Help me be better at both. Forgiveness especially. Every time we argue I remember EVERY OTHER TIME we’ve argued. It fills me with bitterness that after all this time he still refuses to give me ANY credit. Not as a wife. Not as a mother. And especially, not as a Christian. It cuts me to my very core when he begins to spew hatred for my church and my serving. Those are literally the best parts of my week.
Help me forget to be angry. Help me pretend I have ever known hurt.
Search me, O Lord – know my heart and heal me. Heal our family.
In Jesus’s name I pray, AMEN.
