Prayer on Genesis 16:5
Heavenly Father,
I thank You for the honesty of Scripture, which shows how hurt, blame, and frustration can surface when decisions bring unexpected pain. In Genesis 16:5, Sarai speaks from a place of woundedness and confusion. Lord, You see my heart when emotions rise and relationships feel strained.
Father, help me to guard my words when I am hurt. Keep me from placing blame in moments of disappointment or reacting out of pain rather than wisdom. Teach me to bring my grievances to You first, trusting You as the righteous Judge who sees all sides and knows the truth.
Lord, bring healing where there has been misunderstanding, resentment, or broken communication. Give me humility to own my part, grace to forgive others, and wisdom to respond with peace. Help me to choose reconciliation over accusation and prayer over frustration.
I place every conflict, hurt feeling, and unresolved tension into Your hands. Judge rightly, heal completely, and restore what has been strained. Teach me to walk in humility, patience, and trust, even when things do not go as planned.
In Jesusโ name, Amen. ๐๐ฝ
