Note to Self: Helpful Reminders for Healthier RelationshipsSample

Reminder 5: Avoiding Isn't Protecting
When we avoid the hard stuff, we might feel like we’re keeping the peace—but we’re really just delaying the health and healing our relationship needs. Like Nathan with David, speaking truth in love can be the turning point that leads to restoration.
It’s not easy to confront someone or admit something uncomfortable. But hard conversations—when done with kindness and care—protect what matters most. Avoiding conflict might feel easier now, but it rarely leads to real peace later.
Reflect:
- What hard conversation have you been avoiding, and why?
- What’s at stake if you continue to put this conversation off?
Pray: God, give me the courage to have the conversations that matter. Give me the right words to say so that I can create lasting peace. Amen.
