Free to Love...
If you are struggling in any relationship, here are 3 things you can do...
1. Look Inward and Upward....
The last place we want to look is inward when someone has wronged us. So look upward and pray and ask God to show you what you can do to bring peace to the relationship.
2. Pray for impossible people...
God knows those people in your lives, which is why He says “if it is possible.” (Romans 12:6) so If you are beating yourself up because you can’t get a breakthrough in an impossible relationship, then it may be time to stop fighting and leave the impossible in God's hands.
3. Pray for His will...
Sometimes we fight so hard for what we want out of our relationships, we forget to ask God what His will is in our relationships. If we are holding on too tightly, it will be hard to find God’s will for any of our relationships. I know it seems scary to surrender our relationships to God, but actually there is complete freedom when you let go of the need to control others and grab onto your Father’s hands in heaven.
Let me pray for you...
I pray in Jesus’ name that you fight the temptation to engage in relational battles that drain your strength, trying to prove your point or win your way or defend yourself. I pray you let your Lord be your defense. I pray you will never again get caught in the trap of blame and bitterness. May our God give you the wisdom to know what to fight for, for those you love, and how to fight in a way that brings blessings and breakthroughs to all of your relationships. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
We love each other because he first loved us.
