At a Time of Family Conflict

All families know conflict. How we handle our differences and to whom we turn determine whether, and how fast, our scars will heal.

You know, God, we are not a perfect family.
The stresses of our lives cause us to bring each other hurt and pain.
This is not the way we choose to live with each other.
Yet, all too often, it is how we are living.
We ask that you guide us in your Providence back to a better and more loving way.
Please help us to bury anger and return to the seed of our love.
Please help us to value each other as you value us.
