Ask the Lord to Bring Peace to Challenged Relationships (7.24.13)

Emotions are high and intense; there is a lot of ripping and tearing apart going on in relationships at this time.  Remember we have an enemy who is trying to sabotage relationships.  Trying to bring about division and discord; hurt and distrust; into our homes, churches, ministries and businesses.

During this period, try to be sensitive to one another's needs by doing things that will please the LORD.  

Be kind, caring and loving in yours thoughts, actions and deeds. 

I also believe it is important to recognize that often things are not as they appear to be. 
The enemy is using distrust, rejection, fear, miscommunication, prior hurts and wounds, etc. to bring death and division into relationships. If you are experiencing relationship issues, seek the Lord on how to proceed. 

Do not react out of emotions, but find that place of stillness. 

Ask the Lord to Sovereignly intervene and follow through on everything He lays on your heart to do. Sometimes people, and even family members, can really push you to the brink, causing you to step out of GOD's will for a few moments; until you give this person a piece of your mind.  Then you have to go back and repent for what you said to that person.  Remember, GOD sees and hears every word that comes from our mouths. 

He's standing right next to us every moment of the day. If your relationships are being challenged right now, then ask the LORD to come into your heart and into your home.  

Ask Him to bring peace like only He can. 

If you seek the LORD, He will fix what is wrong and restore peace into your surroundings. 
 
Ephesians 4:31-5:2 - Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as GOD in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 5:1-2 - Therefore be imitators of GOD as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
