I actually tried this last night, as skeptical as I was:
My bf and I were about to go to bed, and I asked him about his father. Really, the only thing I know about his father is that he was 30 years older than his mother when he was born, theat they split up since, and that he was not a nice man. I started to ask him if he knew where he was or if he thought he would ever talk to him again. He said he didnt know, but thought that he lived with his half sister. Basically, I started saying that now that he is older, maybe he should ry to talk to his dad, maybe his dad realized his mistakes and is sorry.
He got very quiet then, said, in an angry voice, "Dont EVER talk to me about that AGAIN."
I was very hurt and upset, but instead of questioning him like usual or getting angry, I prayed. And suddenly, he was calm, and he turned over and gave me a hug and a kiss and told me a funny story of something that happened that day to try to make me laugh. I was shocked.
Who knows, maybe God does put the other person at peace, too.
