"A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger."
Proverbs 15:1 NASB
...anger...
He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly. Proverbs 14:29 NASB |
...quick-tempered...
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, But the slow to anger calms a dispute. Proverbs 15:18 NASB |
Dear Lord,
There are times, when my responses are not gentle,
and I speak harshly to another in tones or words
that cut and divide rather than soothe and heal.
Forgive me for when I have stirred up anger rather than calming it.
Please help me in my weakness.
Please help me in my weakness.
May my words and tones glorify You
and display Your love and gentleness at all times.
and display Your love and gentleness at all times.
Amen
