Sunday morning. At the computer. Coffee in hand. TV is on. Listening Charles Stanley.
Pray for a quiet spirit.
Ask God to help you keep your mouth shut, to listen, to think before you speak. Did Jesus ever raise His voice, correct an angry person while they were talking, lash out at the other person in rash words?
You can't be in conflict with someone and be at peace/happy/content at the same time. It doesn't work. Being angry at someone leaves you miserable.
It will protect from angry responses and becoming bitter and angry.
Humility always wins. When you are wrong and someone chews you out, simply ask "Do you have any other advice for me?" after they are done. (... woah)
[Epheshians 4:30-32]
So quiet down (sometimes MUCH easier said than done), think before you speak, forgive.
