Anger

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.
Proverbs 15:1

Something I need to work on and pray about. I need to start thinking more before I speak. When someone comes to me in anger, I don't have to answer in the same way.

I need to think, What Would Jesus Do?! My Lord doesn't answer me in anger. He remains the calm, diligent, Father, speaking to me with peace and love. I need to be more like that.

So from today on, I will try to be more like Jesus when I speak. No more angry words spoken. I don't want to create more anger, I want to create peace, joy, and happiness. If the other party wants to remain angry, well, that's in their heart, but my heart will rejoice in the new peace I have found.

Thank you heavenly Father for always speaking to me in a kind and gentle way. I yearn to be more like you Father. Please give me the words you want spoken, and give me peace to give to others when in a heated moment.


-Glory be to God
