Psalm 18:25-29, ESV
With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down. For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness. For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.
Psalm 18:25-29, JN paraphrase
Lord, a situation has evolved among members of our extended families in which individuals are tearing at each other in ways that lack humility, purity and adherence to Your directive to love one another. We come to You seeking Your guidance as Your servants to bring peace and light to some very troubled family members.
