Standing Tall Still

Lord, today was not a good day for how I treated others. I know I need to apologize. I know that I did that person wrong. I have no excuse for my bad behavior. I have no good reason for harming them. I pray that you place forgiveness on their heart. Mostly, though, I pray that you give them peace for when I do apologize. I pray that I can make the situation right for them and that I don't give them the impression that this is normal behavior for people who love you, Lord. I know you ask that our behavior be a light unto others, and my behavior certainly was not. Lord, I ask that you give us both the strength to get through this situation and come out the other side better and more in love with you than before. Amen.
