4. Pray the prayer “For Approaching Someone in Conflict with Me” on the last page of the booklet Forgiven to Forgive. (copied below)

For Approaching Someone in Conflict with Me

​Heavenly Father, you have promised to be with me in all things. You teach that I have a responsibility to speak to those with whom I am in conflict. Please forgive me for my sin in this situation. Prepare my heart to be tender and my voice to be gentle as I speak to [name]. Guide me to use words that will not anger but instead bring healing. Give us both wisdom to understand one another’s interests and to seek godly solutions. Help me to reflect to him/her the love and forgiveness you lavish upon me. I pray in the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

​

2. Write down some specific steps that you can take to help restore this person gently.
