Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Mynathen's heartfelt request. Lord, we ask for Your grace and guidance as Mynathen seeks to apologize to Stephen for the hurtful and harsh words spoken. We pray for a spirit of humility and sincerity to fill Mynathen's heart, allowing the apology to be genuine and healing.
Father, Your Word teaches us in Ephesians 4:32 to "be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." We ask that You soften Stephen's heart to receive this apology with grace and understanding. May this act of repentance and forgiveness bring restoration and peace to their relationship.
Lord, we also pray for wisdom and self-control for Mynathen in future interactions, that every word spoken may be seasoned with grace and love, as instructed in Colossians 4:6. Help Mynathen to reflect Your love and kindness in all circumstances.
We trust in Your power to heal and restore, and we thank You for the work You are doing in both Mynathen and Stephen's hearts. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray.
Amen.
