O God, Who makes women and men of one mind that live in a house together, bring peace into our home help me to do my share. Make me ever ready to give the soft answer that turneth away wrath. Take from me the wish to irritate and prevent me from saying the grievous words that stir up strife. If tempted to quarrel, make me able to keep my own temper. Let the law of kindness rule my life and govern all I do and say. When my feelings are hurt let me turn to Thee for comfort, and keep me calm under the shadow of Thy wings, for Jesus' sake. Amen.
