Today’s prayer

Written prayer

Lord, I know You value relationships, and because I desire to walk in Your footsteps, relationships will be a focal point of my life. In moments of strife and contention with friends, my heart will seek to do what's right rather than to be right. Mercy and kindness will be the companions of my words. Love and understanding will be the chaperones of my heart for I now realize that two are better than one, I realize that I can accomplish more united with like minded relationships than by myself. Pride will not cloud my judgment, anger will not drive my emotions, for I decree & declare that I am not run by emotions but by Your Spirit God. Like Joab in today's reading, I will stop future relationship casualties because I realize we are all Your children God and that we are on the same team! With this truth I say...

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
