Jesus, You love SIL so much You died for her. You are patient and long-suffering as You call her to Yourself. Help me to be patient also, to love her with Your love.

With all humility, and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to mainatain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:23

Bearing with one another, and if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other, as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. Colossians 3:13

From the beginning we have had You as the center of our relationship. The Holy Spirit has been the One who has kept us connected. Forgive me for the times I have been responsible for breaking that unity. And help me to forgive SIL for the times she has broken it. May we center our relationship once again on You, to make You our focus, as we learn to bear with each other.

In Your Patient Name,

Amen.
