pray through the conflict

we cannot change hearts

we can only pray

giving our concerns to God

God knows the way

pray for your enemies

for those with whom you differ

pray to soften hearts

to melt the difference

pray through the conflict

the times of struggle

who knows, maybe

there is peace in the middle
