Friday October 24th – Being Mindful of How We Speak
Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
This verse reminds us of the power of our words and the importance of responding with kindness and gentleness. In moments of conflict or tension, a calm and gentle response can diffuse anger and bring peace, whereas harsh or angry words can escalate the situation. It encourages us to be mindful of how we communicate, seeking to build understanding and harmony rather than division.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to respond with gentleness and patience, especially in difficult situations. Teach me to use my words to bring peace and healing rather than anger and hurt. May my speech reflect Your love and grace, turning away wrath and fostering reconciliation. Guide me to be a vessel of Your peace in every conversation. Amen.
