In this life we ​​live complications and disagreements, all this is part of life, we cannot avoid it but we do have the ability to decide how to face it.

11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he was to be condemned. 12 For before some came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but after they came, he withdrew and separated himself, for he was afraid of those of the circumcision. 13 And the other Jews also took part in his dissimulation, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, why do you force the Gentiles to live like Jews? 15 We, Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, 16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

Galatians 2:11-16

In the Bible we find many examples as well as many cases where conflicts arise, conflicts not only between enemies, they also happen between different countries, between friends, even between the same families, we do not only see this recorded in the Bible, this is what happens in our times as well.

In conflicts, unexpected actions often occur, there are people who say hurtful words, accusations that hurt, creating emotional damage, in all of this it is important how we react, this is especially given by what we believe.

We must always be clear about what the Word of God says about God in relation to us. First of all, God knows our lives, knows everything we are, He always remains by our side and knows every feeling and every sensation that we are experiencing at all times. God also has the power and ability to transform every situation of anguish or pain into a situation of blessing.

Everything that Jehovah wants, He does,
In the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.

Psalms 135:6

God's Word shows us His power and sovereignty over all situations and when we are fully convinced that this is so, our vision in times of conflict changes completely because we know that the entire situation will be transformed by the power of God. Instead of reacting intuitively or without thinking, we put aside fear and resentment and turn to God in prayer asking for His guidance.
Conflict and adverse situations in this world are inevitable, when we have done something that generates confusion we must retract and apologize, if another person has been guilty we must simply forgive, we must be rational and understand that for us there are no greater benefits than following the advice of the word of God, reacting intuitively in a reactive way to different situations simply complicates things more, as children of God we must act as such.
