Dear God,
I know there are times that I struggle with being too harsh with my wife and my family. I pray that you would transform this part of me. I pray I would be patient and full of compassion. I pray you would change me and the way I respond to others. Please help me to have self-control in this area of my life. I pray that I am able to respond in love and that I seek to be a peacemaker.
In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
