Well hello, there my dear friend!
“For I will restore health to you and heal your wounds, says the Lord.”
Jeremiah 30:17
Our relationship is important, it is one of the ways we thrive and adapt, but no relationship is perfect, it sometimes turns sour, and sometimes it bends, or breaks. These instances are somehow inevitable and unavoidable. The turn of events in your life doesn’t always favor what you envision it to be, so comes broken relationships — be it with your partner, family, or friends.
But keep this in mind, my dear friend, when you heal yourself, you also heal the relationship. You mend what’s broken, and you find what’s lost when you are healed. There’s a part of you that will ask, how will I know if my relationship is worth healing? Shall I hang in or walk out?
The answer will be simple. Pray, seek, and act.
Pray. Acknowledge the power of God and ask for signs if you shall hang in or take a break, this will give you breathing room to see the red flag, what aspects you lack, and how to work through the relationship. Every relationship is given by God for us to learn and grow.
Seek. Seek help or advice, it can either be professional help for married couples or spiritual help for starting couples, family members, and the likes. The power of the Holy Spirit and scriptures does not lie, it can guide you if you seek help from it.
Act. Make a wise decision, do not skip pray and seek, as your decision will be based on it, do not act out of haste and desperation, learn to see the signs before making any decision. Do not do or say something you will regret later.
These steps will help you heal a broken relationship. Just because it’s broken doesn’t mean it can be fixed, it didn’t say the relationship was gone, it’s just broken, some relationships just need time off to recalibrate attention and focus. But how do you truly heal a broken relationship?
Take The Time Off. Everybody needs rest, so take the time off to calm and relax, meditate, and do not overthink, this will help you to see things from a different perspective and come up with a solution.
See Things In Their Perspective. Empathy is important to heal a relationship, learn first how to walk in other’s shoes before you react, if you think they have been unfair — forgive if you think you have been unfair — apologize. Set aside your pride to save the relationship.
Communicate. In every relationship, communication is crucial, learn to say what you want to say but consider the timing, and setting. Transparency saves a relationship, so be transparent and communicate.
Pray. The power of divine intervention is something you can rely on if you tried everything to save the relationship. Pray to God Almighty to heal you and the person you are praying for. Why healing? Because conflicts arise when you have internal turmoil, so pray for healing instead.
Do not forget to key in your prayers here my dear friend.
