Steps to help when dealing with conflict :
- Bring it to God in prayer. Try speaking aloud a prayer to God when you are alone in the car. You might appreciate hearing the situation as your speak your prayer without breaking the 8th Commandment by sharing with others.
- Seek out a trusted wise friend or your pastor to gain clarity and process your issues. If possible, find a person to talk with who is outside of the situation so they won’t know the people involved.
- Clarify the conflict – understand why you are upset. Try writing it down, create a timeline. Try to engage in active listening to hear and be heard. Try practicing “when you do ______, I feel ______.”
- Seek to forgive easily and ask for forgiveness readily. Be specific about how the conflict can be resolved.
