Conflict resolution.....

Just returned from my daughters best friend's house.  I am so thankful that other mom's handle things directly.  It is awesome to be able to model handling problems in a biblical way and to watch God heal 5th grade relationships.

I pray that my daughter would always be sensitive to others.  Lord help her to see others hurting and to know she can approach then and encourage them.  Lord help Josie to see when others are upset with her and give her boldness to go to them and ask how she has offended them.  Don't let pride infect her relationships with people. May she always go after you with her whole heart and share your love with others without the debilitating effects of gossip, pride, malice, and greed.

Lord help Josie to know that she is your child and that she is worth it to work out conflicts with whomever is with her.  May she know that her parents support her in her decisions and even when she makes poor decisions that we will always love her and care about her deeply.

Help her Lord to soften her heart toward those who are hardest for her to be humble around.

Guide her in every relationship and allow her to learn positive ways to handle problems, conflicts, and quarrels that may give her plenty of tools to use throughout her life, in her marriage and in her adult friendships.

I trust you with her Lord.  I know you have great plans for her and I pray that she would seek you with all her heart trusting you'll lead her all throughout her life.

Amen
Colossians 3:15 NLT

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
