Take it to the Lord in Prayer!
Dr. Jay Wolf
God’s Word invites us to live in the atmosphere of prayer. “You shall make your prayer unto Him, and He will hear you, and you shall pay your vows.” (Job 22:27)
The dear hymn reminds us, “O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer.”
Follow me down this ordinary road.The meeting with your friend started as an amiable encounter that awkwardly morphs into a disagreement. What commenced as a conversation turns into a confrontation. The tension becomes so thick you can cut it with a knife. Wisdom prompts you to separate before things disintegrate. Then when you separate, it’s time to communicate with the Lord. When you get alone with God then the communion of conviction comes and you move from confusion into revelation. More often than not, the Holy Spirit has shown me that I was in the wrong and need to ask for forgiveness.Next, you make a vow to the Lord to untie the relational knot.You operate in the spirit of Isaiah 1:18, “Come let us reason together, says the Lord, though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow.”
Summary: Use prayer to untie relational knots by retreating, reflecting and receiving God’s instructions.
