Reconciliation
"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ."
— 2 Corinthians 5:18
God of reconciliation,
There are fractures in my life, damaged relationships, unresolved conflicts. These ruptures weigh on me and exhaust me internally.
Give me the courage of reconciliation. To take the first step, to reach out, to open dialogue even when it's difficult. Not to be right, but to find peace again.
May reconciliation be possible where it seems impossible. May I be a peacemaker, a bridge builder, a relationship repairer. Reconciliation is Your work in us.
Amen.

Reflection
Is there a broken relationship you could try to reconcile? What would be the first small step?
For all the reconciliations needed in families and between peoples.
