Patience Brings Peace

​Self-control is a valuable attribute. The ability to consider one's words and actions, rather than lashing out without thinking, makes an enormous impact on one's life. Few people want to associate with a hot-tempered person, for fear of getting "burned."

Our Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that we may take note of the godly and gracious way to speak to others and apply it in our lives. Help us to be careful when responding to the words of others so that we do not promote anger. Help us to turn away any bitterness or wrath with a soft and gentle answer. May our speech be a tree of life to others and prevent us from ever crushing the heart or soul of another, through careless speech. We pray that our lips spread wisdom and knowledge, and keep us from foolish reactions or from spouting folly in some unguarded moment. May our speech and language reflect the gracious words of the Lord, and may we only say and do those things that honour Your name. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
