Prayer based on Proverbs 17:9. Themes: Forgiveness, Unity, Gossip.

Dear God, please help me to be someone who covers offenses and promotes love. May I not be someone who repeats matters and separates best friends. Give me the wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain silent. Help me to be a peacemaker and a source of unity in my relationships. May my words and actions always reflect your love and grace. Amen.
