What may be a fight with family members could be some of the most complicated struggles an individual has to deal with in his or her life. These issues could be contractual issues, misunderstandings, conflict, divine attacks, or inherited issues, the result is disunity within the family cycle which is very draining emotionally and spiritually.

With prayer, we can have strength, wisdom, and courage to confront these fights aggressively with the understanding that God will restore the broken vessel
