Dear Lord God,
Help us know when to pursue, when to back down, when to let go, when to open up, when to share, when to listen when to release, when to love well, when to forgive, when to give up bitterness, when to humble ourselves, when to stand up, when to pray. We give you every single one of our relationships -- the awesome ones, the ones that drain, the ones conflicted, the ones confusing, the ones stumbling back, the ones familial, the ones filled with addictions, the ones far from Jesus, the ones of many years, the ones of a few weeks, the ones online, the ones in person. Help us love well, release well, speak well, and listen exceedingly well, I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen!
A short encouraging story:
Once a man was asked, ' what did you gain by regularly praying to God?" The man replied, "Nothing... but let me tell you what i lost; anger, ego, greed, depression, insecurity, and fear of death."
Sometimes the answer to our prayers is not gaining, but losing; which ultimately is the gain."
