Lord, tonight I pray again for honesty and truth in SIL’s heart and mind.

Behold, you delight truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. Psalm 51:6

It’s so confusing when her behavior changes, when the look on her face and in her eyes change from kindness and gentleness to aggression and ridicule. Teach us the wisdom we need to discern what is going on and how to deal with it. Give us the grace to be open with each other so that real lasting healing can occur. As long as she can hide behind her aggression, she will be stuck there. If she’s built a wall, reveal it to us – to her – so it can be dealt with. It’s like she built a wall to hide her aggressive self from other people, but from time to time it peeks out from behind the wall with all its anger and hatred.

For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Luke 8:17

You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

Lord, bring everything out in the open so the truth can set her free.

In Your Revealing Light,

Amen
