Turn the Other Cheek

God please give me the strength to stop and take a breath. Help me to offer forgiveness daily to anyone who may try to hurt me with their words or actions. Continue to offer me forgiveness when I don’t speak kindly of others. I pray for peace and happiness for Madelyns Dad. I will try harder to appreciate what he can give to our children and be understanding of his limitations. I pray for healing for him in area that he needs it. I will always have love for him and wish good things for him.  I pray for the kids to not internalize any of the hurtful words or actions they encounter as the move through their owns journey in life. I will trust you to watch over them and guide them. Please give me the courage to trust others and not compare them or punish them due to past hurts.
