Talking calmly and trying to understand the other’s point of view is vital for reconciliation after an argument. But a prayer can also help in defusing tensions. French Christian author Father François Banvillet has composed a prayer for both partners to recite to help foster reconciliation:
O Lord, we praise you and bless you!
You are the God who helps us
and we do deeply love you.
Today/tonight, we both lost our tempers.
Our quarrel has revealed
that we don’t speak enough to one another.
There was a lot of hidden animosity
we unintentionally harbored.
You’ve given us our love,
You’ve given us our strength and spirit.
O Lord, we praise you and bless you!
Amen.
