Prayer for Repentance and Healing After an Argument
Heavenly Father, we come before You, honoring Your holy name. You are the God of mercy and grace, abundant in love and kindness, and we praise You for Your forgiveness and compassion. Psalm 86:5 reminds us, “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.” Thank You, Lord, for always being ready to receive us, no matter how many times we fall.
Father, we lift up our hearts to You in repentance. Your Word says in 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Lord, we confess our hurtful words, the anger, and any pride that may have come out during the argument. We know these things do not reflect Your Spirit within us, and we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing.
In Psalm 51:10, David prays, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Lord, we echo this prayer. Wash over us with Your mercy and renew our hearts, so that our words and actions align with Your love. We invite You to work within us, shaping us to be more like Jesus, especially in our relationships.
Lord, You are the Healer of all wounds, both seen and unseen. We ask for Your healing touch upon any hurts caused in this argument. Psalm 147:3 declares, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” We ask that You bring peace where there has been discord, understanding where there was confusion, and compassion where there was hurt. Let Your Spirit move in us, bringing reconciliation, love, and unity.
Thank You, Father, for Your boundless mercy and love. We trust in Your power to heal and restore, believing that Your grace is sufficient. We pray all of this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus. Amen.
