Overcoming Hurts

When you're struggling in a relationship, do you turn to God for help? How do you pray? Is your prayer a prayer requesting help? What do you do when the problems in your relationship persist? Should you break off the relationship, or pray differently?

Why not pray and ask God to love the one who is hurting you? This will allow God to do what He does best. His love will penetrate your relationship because "God is love" (I John 4:8).

When God's love enters into your relationship, it becomes more loving and the misunderstandings are less frequent. Then the relationship has a strong foundation and - isn't that what you wanted in the first place.
