b. Accept expression from others

Remember that God accepts us as who we are. He asks us to humble ourselves, of course, and admit that we don’t always know what’s right. But, Jesus understands when people feel hurt. You can turn such occasion into a time to help through studying the Bible, but also to simply talk to God.

A prayer meeting in your home should involve people humbly going to the Lord, with each person talking a little if they want. Silent prayer is also acceptable. It should never be a time for airing grievances, arguing, and so on; in fact, it should be a time where if there is any problem, the people should ask the Lord to help them to “be of one mind in the Lord,” as Paul advised the church at Philippi when two women had a major disagreement about something. This means that both sides need to agree to floow God’s will in whatever the situation is. Remember, He always has each person’s best interests in His will, because He knows everything about every situation.
