Prayer for Difficult Relationships
Prayer for Difficult Relationships
by Lesli A. Westfall
“Sovereign Lord, this fertility journey is not easy on my relationship with others. Help me to be silent or to watch what I say. Let no unwholesome word come out of my mouth. Help me to seek with wisdom, kindness, and compassion. For my husband/wife, the one You gave as my partner in life, I ask for Your help to respect his or her desires for family. Help me with my mother, father and other family members, to love and honor each one, even though no one seems to understand our decisions on this fertility journey. I pray for my feelings about my friends. Help me not to take an offense at the silence about my fertility issues or to be hurt by anything that is said or done. I praise You that I am free to love those around me because of our great love for me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
