At times in a relationship or a conflict, we are puzzled as to what to do. The principles shared here on this blog such trying to understand the other person, can help but sometimes we are simply not sure what the best approach is.
There is an awesome resource available to us. Many times I have used this secret in various relationship situations.
Ask God for wisdom. It sounds simple but it works. God knows that person better than you do and He knows what is best for them and for you. He knows all the person's life experiences, their thoughts and what is important to them. He knows how to reach them and what will work in any situation.
Often times, it takes a little while to get the answer or answers. It doesn't always come immediately and it is helpful to put ourselves in situations where we can find the wisdom we need. For example, read a relevant book or seek Biblical wisdom on relationships, talk to a wise friend or maybe do research on the internet. Other times, if we take time to think about it, a "thought solution" will drop into our minds. If we seek and persist in seeking, we will find.
At times, we will the magic key that turns things around. At other times, it is not a one time solution. Sometimes we need repeated wisdom over a period of time to work through our relationship issues with each other. It will be worth it though because in working through issues, we will grow as people and we will enjoy be the benefit of what that person and the relationship has to offer.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." James 1:6 (NIV)
