Night Prayer for Peace After an Argument

For when you go to bed upset with your spouse, parent, child or friend.

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.”

Ephesians 4:26 (KJV)

Lord, I argued with someone I love today, and I feel unsettled. Words were said that hurt.

Show me my part. Help me apologize where I was wrong and forgive where I was hurt.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Help me not to sleep holding on to anger.

Soften both our hearts. Give us peace tonight and a better conversation tomorrow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

Lord, help me let go of anger before I sleep. Amen.
