Replies to 'A Prayer Chain For All Prayers For All'

I think that we often are grieving for what we wished we had now or in the past more than what we really had in the past or have now as far as family relations. We cannot change other people, however, we don't have to empower their words. So much time is lost stressing over hateful words said to us and it just empowers those words. Really, pity the person who says and say a prayer for them and avoid person. Instead often we ponder about how much it hurt and often project hurt onto others if only ourselves by remembering or generalizing. I used to not fall into that trap until I decided to be more assertive and noticed instead it is best to "BE STILL" as you said. It is better to respond than react and sometimes the best response is no response. I stopped by and said a prayer for you because sometimes people change but not if we collect and save all the hurt to take out and show them periodically or to reinjure ourselves remembering the pain. Dr. Phil says, in relationships, we often have to decide which is more important... "being right or the relationship..." Every time I have proven myself right things didn't feel very right. Blessings attached abundantly via prayer. YYC
