What did We Learn?
- Fighting can get out of control and when it gets out of control, we can not only damage each other but everyone around us.
- We need to ask Jesus to help us let go of what we are arguing over so He can bring peace to our hearts and our relationships, and so that things don’t get out of control.
Let's Pray
Dear Heavenly Father,
When a fight starts to grow bigger and bigger, let us take a moment to pray and ask for Jesus to help us.
To help us calm down, to help us find peace, and to help us forgive.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
