Euodia and Syntyche were two women who worked with Paul in building the church.Yet sadly,the only mention of them in Scripture is that they couldn't get along with one another.That's not good,because God's blessing is predicated upon our willingness to forgive,and to love one another.Jesus said: "Therefore I say unto you,what ever you ask when you pray,believe that you receive it,and you will have them. And whenever you pray,if you have anything against anyone,forgive him,that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses" ( Mark C-11:v24-25 ).You can't pray effectively when you have "something against anyone." Even if the other person is wrong,let God use you to make a change.Tell them you want a healed relationship,then apologize. It may take more than a U-turn to make up the distance between you,but each step will make the distance much shorter.Do this in the Grace of God,this is part of it.Remember ,when you forgive someone,you position yourself beyond condemnation; at that point God can bless you.
