A Prayer for Healing Broken Relationships
Loving Father, You see the hurt between me and the one I long to be close to again. The bond we had feels broken, and I cannot mend it alone.
Soften my heart, Lord. Take away my pride and my resentment. Help me to forgive as You have forgiven me, and give me the courage to reach out in love.
Where there is distance, build a bridge. Where there are harsh words, bring gentle ones. Where there is pain, pour in Your healing peace.
I trust this relationship into Your hands. Do what only You can do, and make us whole again, in Jesus' name, Amen.
When to Pray This
Pray this when a friendship, marriage, or family tie feels strained or broken, and you long for peace. Return to it whenever bitterness rises, asking God to soften your heart first.
